The Maginot line had been built along The Rhin river. The German army broke through Belgium, (like they have already done in 1914) and through the Ardennes forest which was considered as a mountain by the french headquarter, thinking it was a natural obstacle. But it was just a hill causing no problem to German armours.
The French were easily beaten because the Army and its leaders were incompetent compared to the disiplined and well-equipped Germans.

Germany executed a strategic military maneuver called the Manstein Plan. Instead of attacking the heavily fortified Maginot Line directly, Germany launched a surprise invasion through the Ardennes forest, which was considered to be an impenetrable natural barrier. This unexpected approach caught the French off guard, allowing the German forces to bypass the Maginot Line and rapidly advance into France.

What were some important facts about the French defense as World War 2 began?
One thing to you MUST understand about the French is that were not the weak fools we make them out to be. They had learned a valuable lesson from German aggression of the First World War. The French developed the Maginot Line in the late 1920's to defend against any future aggression by the Germans. It built strong defenses in the locations where Germany attacked from World War One, and had weaker defenses along the Franco-Belgian border. Unfortunately for the French, the Germans had also learned important lessons from their first go around invading France. Instead of invading through the Maginot Line and getting bogged down in heavy combat, they cut through the Ardennes, completely by passing the major French defenses. This allowed the Germans to successfully invade France. So while the French were defeated quickly by the Germans, they were prepared to put up a fight, just not in the right place.

What mistake did France make in a potential German invasion of France?
The first major French failure was that of over centralization and miscalculation. The French had an extremely slow and over centralized Army command structure leading to unnecessary delays in the decision making and planning processes. Another grievous mistake of the French manifested itself in the pre-war planning process. The French, in a moment of clarity recognized their inability to react quickly to dynamic situations as a result of their command structure.
