What country is vichy in?

You are referring Vichy, France with a important history during World War 2.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaVichy France, Vichy regime, or Nazi Franceare the common terms used to describe the government of France from July 1940 to August 1944. Thisgovernment, which succeeded the Third Republic, officially called itself the French State (État Français), in contrast with the previous designation, "French Republic." Marshal Philippe Pétain proclaimed the government following the military defeat of France by Nazi Germany during World War II and the vote by the National Assembly on 10 July 1940. This vote granted extraordinary powers to Pétain, the last Président du Conseil (Prime Minister) of the Third Republic, who then took the additional title Chef de l'État Français ("Chief of the French State"). Pétain headed the reactionary program of the so-called "Révolution nationale", aimed at "regenerating the Nation."The Vichy Regime maintained some legal authority in the northern zone of France, which was occupied by the German Wehrmacht. However, its laws only applied where they did not contradict German ones. This meant that where the regime was most powerful was the unoccupied southern "free zone", where its administrative centre of Vichy was located.Pétain and the Vichy regime willfully collaborated with the German occupation to a high degree. The French police and the state Milice (militia) organised raids to capture Jews and others considered "undesirables" by the Germans in both the northern and southern zones.The legitimacy of Vichy France and Pétain's leadership was challenged by General Charles de Gaulle, who claimed instead to represent the legitimacy and continuity of the French government. Following the Allies' invasion of France in Operation Overlord, de Gaulle proclaimed the Provisional Government of the French Republic (GPRF) in June, 1944. After the Liberation of Paris in August, the GPRF installed itself in Paris on 31 August. The GPRF was recognized as the legitimate government of France by the Allies on 23 October 1944.With the liberation of France in August and September, Vichy's officials and supporters moved to Sigmaringen in Germany and there established a government in exile, headed by Fernand de Brinon, until April 1945. Many of the Vichy regime's prominent figures were subsequently tried by the GPRF and a number were executed. Pétain himself was sentenced to death for treason, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

Was the yellow star used in the vichy zone after November 1942 when all of France was occupied?

Yes. As of June 7, 1942, all Jews over the age of six were forced to wear the Star of David on the left side of a garment in plain sight, such as a coat. This was done intentionally to humiliate the Vichy government, which had been attempting to use Hitler's agenda as an excuse and justification for the deportation of foreign Jews from French soil.
