Better than OTL ought to be possible, doesn't it. OTL was quite a blow for 'La grande Nation' (the great Nation = (La) France) and their pride.
France wasn't like the Low Countries both small armies and one even ill equipped (thank you Dutch politicians
) but both fought fierce and bravely (against such an adversary), it (or she? (la France)) had a large well equipped army and with better leadership and decisions could have done better.
Maybe a stalemate, although countering the remilitarization of the Rhineland by the Nazi's in hindsight might be better, but OTOH a more democratic Weimar government should have been able to do this at a certain point. Versailles was kind of toxic, especially when one remembers that the Britishers and Frenchmen were just as nationalistic as the Germans (especially) in the ''Belle Epoque'' before WWI.
