were there any French troops in Normandy invasion?

I was wondering if there were any French troops that landed during the Normandy invasion and if not why not seeing as it was to liberate their country

Always room for more, but as a starting point there's [a thread from a couple of years back] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2po4d1/what_was_the_french_contribution_to_dday/) where /u/k1990 covers ground units and I chip in a bit about the naval and air forces.
