The Vichy government was a puppet regime based in the south while the Germans retained complete power in the north. The Free French were based in London under the leadership of General de Gaulle. The Germans occupied the Vichy portion of France in 1942 after it became clear that the French colonies in Africa and the middle-east and their colonial garrisons were slowly going over to the Free French coupled with the allied invasion of western north Africa in operation torch (the British were actually already in Africa but at the East end).

Did any french ally with Germany in World War 2?
Yes, millions. After Germany defeated France the Germans set up a puppet regime in France, headquartered in Vichy. The Vichy regime was under the leadership of octogenarian WWI hero Field Marshal Petain, but active direction was by Premier Pierre Laval. The Germans initially occupied only northern France, and the Vichy regime controlled the south. The Vichy were a German ally, and the official government of France. When US troops landed in North Africa in November 1942, they went ashore in French colonies, Morocco and Algeria. The military there were under the orders of Vichy and fought the US for three or four days, but the heart of the troops was not really in it, and they soon surrendered and came over to the Allied side.The Vichy regime "invited" Germany's ally, Japan, to occupy the French colony of Indochina (Vietnam). This caused the US to embargo the sale of oil to Japan, which in turn caused the Japanese to decide on war with the US and led to Pearl Harbor.There were thousands of French fascists, who eagerly cooperated with the Germans (called "collaboration"). Many French Jews were denounced by other Frenchmen and went to the death camps. There was an entire SS Division made up of eager French volunteers, the Charlemange Division.After France was liberated in every French town women who had dated German soldiers were publicly stripped and had their heads shaved by the Resistance. Collaborators by the thousands were charged in French courts with the crime of collaboration with the Germans, which could carry the death penalty, and many were executed, including the Vichy Premier, Laval.
