With regards to France during the war the French were no better or worse than the Belgians or Dutch. A small minority actively collaborated (informers, police etc.) a even smaller minority actively resisted and an overwhelming majority (85%+) did nothing and stayed "neutral".
Naturally after the war everyone who sat on the fence turned out to have secretly been with the Maquis and every collaborator was actually undercover undermining the Vichy regime from the inside, that is just human nature.
