The Cavalry Corps (French: Corps de Cavalerie) was a French mechanized army corps established in 1939 and inactivated in 1940 after the defeat of France by Germany. Commanded by General René Prioux, the Cavalry Corps advanced into Belgium in May 1940 and imposed significant delay on the advance of the German XVI (motorized) Corps. Cut off by German forces from the bulk of the French Army, the corps was evacuated to England and then shipped back to France in late May and early June 1940. Further combat resulted in significant losses of armored vehicles and a steady deterioration of the corps' combat power. The Cavalry Corps ceased fighting as the Second Armistice at Compiègne took effect, and the corps was demobilized on July 11, 1940.

- Le Corps de cavalerie est un corps d'armée mécanisé français créé en 1939 et dissous en 1940 après la bataille de France. Commandé par le général René Prioux, le corps de cavalerie avance en Belgique en mai 1940 et couvre le flanc français face à l'avancée du 16e corps (motorisé) allemand. Coupé par les forces allemandes du gros de l'armée française, le corps est évacué à Dunkerque vers l' Angleterre puis renvoyé en France fin mai et début juin 1940. La poursuite des combats entraîne des pertes importantes de véhicules blindés et une diminution constante de la puissance de combat du corps. Le corps de cavalerie cesse les combats avec l'entrée en vigueur du deuxième armistice de Compiègne et est démobilisé le 11 juillet 1940. (fr)
