Editing Fall Rot (section)

==={{lang|fr|L'Éxode}}===
Between six and ten million civilian refugees had fled the fighting and clogged the roads, in what became known as {{lang|fr|L'Éxode}} (The Exodus) and few arrangements had been made for their reception. The population of [[Chartres]] declined from 23,000 to 800 and Lille from 200,000 to 20,000 as cities in the south such as [[Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques|Pau]] and [[Bordeaux]] rapidly grew in size.{{sfn|Jackson|2001|pp=119–120}}
