France chose to declare war on the German Nazi Third Reich when they attacked, invaded and took over Poland. This attack was a violation of the Treaty of Versailles. The UK also declared war on Germany.
It must be clarified that had neither country declared war on Germany they both would have been forced into the war when Adolf Hitler had his troops invade England and France. This had been his plan even with their declaration of war or without it.
France was attacked and occupied by the Nazis months after Poland was occupied. The French were unable to successfully defend themselves against the Nazi troops so they surrendered to the German forces.
Nearly six years later the French were liberated when the Allied Forces invaded France on the Normandy Beaches and fought their way to Paris. Paris was then liberated and the Nazis driven out of France.
