Not until the US/UK threatened landfall in '41. Most of French resistance activity amounted getting leadership and equipment hidden before the Nazis could secure control over territory. They died in droves to do little more than prick the German war machine.

As counterintelligence, they were grand. German military reports leaked like a sieve throughout France, once the Allies reclaimed a beachhead. But as a fighting force, they were next to worthless.
