Direction of French Expansion with a Wittelsbach Netherlands-Palatinate

Let's say Austria succeeds in swapping Bavaria for the Hapsburg Netherlands in the War of Bavarian Succession. Given a couple of decades, the Wittelsbach lines die out and the Netherlands, Palatinate, Julich, and Berg come together under the rule of one line - prompting the unification of the realm (Kingdom of Burgundy? Kingdom of Belgium?).

With a unified polity to its North, will France (Royal and Revolutionary) be as inclined towards expanding in that direction?

Perhaps the Prince-Bishopric of Liege might be a target for absorption, especially if it still becomes a revolutionary republic TTL.

Otherwise, given the OTL idea of "lets invade Hapsburg lands for national glory" that occurred during the revolution, maybe Hapsburg Baden could be the target. Maybe Geneva and Neuchatel? More focus on the Ottomans?
 
If the Wittelsbachs wish to dampen romantic nationalist sentiment, they could choose the old-fashioned Frankish name "Austrasia" for their new realm.

IMO, France absorbing the Bishopric of Liége would not be accepted by the Wittelsbachs, however, as it's right in the middle of their possessions. I'd say the French could engage in conflicts or negotiations with Austria to acquire Baden (and perhaps also parts of Württemberg if they're feeling greedy, but not the whole of it as some sort of buffer state would have to exist), in order to control both banks of the Rhine and also some mineral ores.

What are the odds that a revolutionary French state would just absorb Northern Italy rather than the Wittelsbach domains or Baden?

France with 1789 Borders + Liguria, Piedmont, Parma, and perhaps Milan?
 
Perhaps something like this?

Why not. France would still be militarily stronger than such a large, and potentially fractious, state.

France would probably seek alliances with other German states in the meantime.
