Not too bad assuming you weren't an enemy of the state or a partisan. Sure life was tough in an occupied puppet regime, but conditions on the ground were still shitty considering the blockade and the loss of most of their resources for domestic use. Unlike Italy or Germany, Vichy remained largely unmolested by Allied bombing and thus was able to keep some semblance of normalcy for the average person living under it. Vichy for the most part was out of the line of fire for the allies, and they surrendered much of their North Africa holdings without a fight due to shitty supplies and nonexistent morale. Vichy gave Indochina to the Japanese, and basically gave all administrative duties of Corsica to Italy after the Vichy/French navy was scuttled.

The Vichy Army and what was left of their Airforce/Navy was totally unfit for combat and its amazing that they didn't all just dissert out of pure apathy for the Vichy Regime.

Hope I was helpfull

A lot of them did. The bulk of the Free French forces that fought in Italy were made up of deserters from Vichy forces in North Africa that spring.

It was the best French regime of the last 200 years.
