WHAT WAS FRANCE: REMNANT ONLY LEFT
The fraction of France over which the French Government retains authority is little more than two-fifths of the whole country.
The unoccupied remnant of France is approximately 43 per cent, of tho nation’s area, or about 01,000 square miles. Marseilles and Lyon, respectively the second and third largest French cities, are in the unoccupied region, but foreign occupation has left only five others of the nation’s 17 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants—Nice. Toulouse, St. Etienne, Toulon, and Clermont-Ferrand. The shore of the Mediterranean, with the nation’s leading port of Marseilles and the smaller port of Sete, to the west, is the only coastline left to France.
