In regards to Vichy vs Free France, what was the status of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy?

It was part of Vichy France. You didn't mention St Pierre and Miquelon. These small islands close to Newfoundland were also under Vichy control, until taken with (very little) force by the Free French. They still are French possessions today.
I don't know when Saint Martin came under Free French control, it must have been before 1943, because in that year crown princess Juliana visited the island. I doubt very much if the heir to the throne would do that, if the other half was under Vichy France control. Saint Martin is also Sint Maarten. The island is shared by France and The Netherlands. It's the only place where those two countries share a common border.
I'm only talking about Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. I assume - but don't know for sure - both islands were under Vichy French control.
