They concentrated most of there military on a long strip of land called the maginot line. The Germans first made a diversion on the upper half of the maginot line to draw the french away from the bottom half. Then they attacked the bottom using blitzkrieg and cut off multiple sections of the maginot line. Other than that, the french had no other defense against the germans.
