The Shanghai French Concession was a foreign concession in Shanghai, China from 1849 until 1946. The concession came to an end in practice in 1943 when the Vichy French government signed it over to the pro-Japanese puppet government in Nanking. The area covered by the former French Concession was the premier residential and retail districts of Shanghai. Despite rampant redevelopment over the last few decades the area retains a distinct character thanks to its tree-shaded boulevards and streets and European architecture.
