Nothing halted the German advance to France: the Germans advanced into France and conquered the country.They only stopped when France surrendered, leaving the Northern half under German occupation and the Southern half under the Vichy government which essentially collaborated with Germany.Some French troops, sailors and airmen escaped and joined the fight (and some French warships - notably the Richelieu battleship which, with the Allies, saw combat in the pacific).There was also the French Resistance.

June 1940
The Free French Forces (Forces Françaises Libres in French) were French fighters in World War II, who decided to continue fighting against Axis forces after the surrender of France and German occupation, following the call of General De Gaulle, and the de jure government ('Free French Government') of France in exile as of June 18, 1940.
French occupation of the Ruhr occurred in 1923 as retaliation for Germany's failure to make reparations payments following World War I. The occupation aimed to enforce payment and weaken German economy to push for compliance.
German workers were ordered to go on strike in 1923 as a response to the French occupation of the Ruhr region. The German government called for passive resistance, leading to strikes and protests by workers against the French occupation. This action was intended to disrupt economic activities and put pressure on the French to leave the region.

In World War 1, France was entirely on the side of the Allied Powers. In World War 2, the country was divided by the Germans after the occupation of 1940. The southern half was called Vichy and it was a puppet government of the German occupation. The Northern half was entirely under German control but the French government was in exile in London until Paris fell in August 1944. France was part of the Allies during WW2 and they landed in Normandy at Gold Beach and it was the French 2nd Armoured Division which liberated Paris.
