The Nazis were only interested in the Northern and coastal regions of France. They occupied the Northen regions because of the fertile land around Paris. They occupied the coastal regions to prevent Allied forces arriving via the Atlantic Ocean.The rest of France was mountainous and not considered worth invading by the Nazis.
In theory there was supposed to be a section of France that was free of German control. But, the Nazis and Hitler lived up to their true colors and occupied it and controlled it in the end.
