For a number of months the French had been taking severe losses at Verdun - to the east of Paris. To relieve the French, the Allied High Command decided to attack the Germans to the north of Verdun therefore requiring the Germans to move some of their men away from the Verdun battlefield thus relieving the French. Basically, the French wanted the Germans to get off their land.
