  $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy of fission fragments is a powerful method for
studies of nuclear structure properties. Recent results on the spectroscopy of
fission fragments, using the combination of the AGATA $\gamma$-ray tracking
array and the VAMOS++ large acceptance magnetic spectrometer at GANIL, are
reported. A comparison of the performance of the large germanium detector
arrays EXOGAM and AGATA illustrates the advances in $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy
of fission fragments. Selected results are highlighted for prompt $\gamma$-ray
spectroscopy studies, measurements of short lifetimes of excited states with
the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift method, using both AGATA and VAMOS++ and
prompt-delayed $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy studies using AGATA, VAMOS++ and
EXOGAM.
