French decree imposes compulsory residence on registered Travellers

📅 6 April 1940 📍 Fransia

The French President’s decree prohibited movement, for the duration of the war, by Travellers holding the state’s anthropometric booklet and subjected them to compulsory residence. The decree preceded the German invasion and was issued by the French Third Republic; the later Vichy regime expanded internment. This history places French state responsibility within the broader European persecution while recognizing that policies and outcomes differed by region.
