| LE GOUVERNEMENT DE VICHY |
| Seat of the French government under Maréchal Pétain from 1940 to 1944, during the German occupation. Pétain's right-wing traditionalist and authoritarian regime extolled the virtues of a new order and a National Revolution which would bring back the values of Work, Family and Fatherland. The Vichy government collaborated with the Germans and deported French Jews after 1942. Reduced to a puppet regime after the German invasion of the free zone, the government collapsed after the Allied victory. |
