Is there any realistic way for (1) the Allies collectively or (2) Western Allies only to punish the French for the Vichy regime and Nazi collaboration after the War?

Bonus points if you do it in a way that doesn't drive France into the Soviet arms.

I'm thinking it'd be a combination of a much smaller free French contingent, combined with a Quisling-style betrayal of the BEF leading to capture/destruction.
