The idea was the the Marginol line would stop the Germans. The Germans counted on the French not leaving their positions along the line, so the Germans came across the Ardennes with tanks and crossed the Meuse River into France.

What major mistake did the Allies make in preparing to defend against Germany's attack on France?

The major mistake that the Allies made in preparing for Germany's attack in 1940 was their assumption that the Ardennes Forest was impassable. They concentrated their forces to the north and south of it. When Germany attacked through the Ardennes, they encountered weak resistance, which allowed them to complete their plan of encircling the allied armies.
