The Maginot Line was actually a very well built defensive line.
It had two flaws.
1. The line ended at the border with Belgium which invited the Germans to go into Belgium.
2. The French, despite having a very good tank in the Char B, lacked the mobile doctrine to use them effectively.
The Germans on the other hand had mostly inferior tanks, but knew how to use them.

Imho, a very important point.
The problem was not so much the Maginot Line itself, as it was the "Maginot Mindset" of "let's just sit here behind our fortifications and wait for the enemy to figure out a way to defeat us."
