| - Covering nearly 1,200 km, the demarcation line crossed thirteen departments: Basses-Pyrénées (Pyrénées-Atlantiques since 1969), Landes, Gironde, Dordogne, Charente, Vienne, Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Cher, Allier, Saône-et-Loire, Jura and Ain. Out of a total of 90 departments, the German Army occupied 42 entirely, 13 partially, while 35 were not occupied. The line spanned from the Swiss to the Spanish border. Marshal Philippe Pétain's regime did not know the exact route of the line until the end of 1941. In practice, the occupiers regularly modified the route at the request of local authorities.
