The Jews in France today dare not go out in public with any kind of indication of their religion such as a skull cap.

The Vichy government in France during the Second World War was complicit in rounding up French Jews and deporting them to the death camps.
Petain was a Nazi puppet. They pulled his strings, and he danced. Oh no, they weren't complicit; they were actively involved. To date, pétainisme is a French synonym for treason.
But the French also displayed incredible courage and resourcefulness. When France fell to the Nazis, thousands of citizens joined in, assisted, or simply turned a blind eye to the Maquis. I'd bet that at least one person reading this has an American ancestor who got safely home thanks to Frogs smuggling his Yankee butt over the border.
