This answer is a bit vague... but will help you to do further research. When the Nazis invaded France, they occupied the south, and the north - which was called vichy France, was supposedly 'free France' (but was still very nazi). marcheal petain was the leader of vichy France, he was called a collaborator for this as he complied with all nazi ideology. If you research Petain, and collaborators you will get more info... this is just what i can remember from my research. You will also, when reseraching vichy France, find a map which will show the occupied and vichy France divide.
