Summary
The French had wanted the Germans to be crippled ever since World War I. The French were the ones who wanted Germany to suffer the most at the Treaty of Versailles. More things that the French had wanted was reparation money, a defensive position against Germany, to build fortifications along the German/French border but this led them into a false sense of security.

"The Maginot Line had two major failings – it was obviously not mobile and it assumed that the Ardennes was impenetrable. Any attack that could get around it would leave it floundering like a beached whale." -Chris Trueman
