As far as I know, he was just an Army group commander at the time this picture was shot. He was leading the French delegation which had to meet the German and sign the armistice.
He became Secretary of war in the Vichy government, arguably after the armistice.

Shortly after the armistice was signed that rail car was taken to Berlin.It was destroyed in a bombing raid later in the war.It was the same car that the armistice to end WWI was signed in.
