> the Ardennes lie on the direct line.

Trains somehow go from Aachen to Brussels. Ardennes is hardly an obstacle.

That's further north than the direct line - I know I have fond memories of hitchhiking Brussels->Aachen with my girlfriend in the 1970s. Direct Paris/Berlin train needs to go along the Sedan/Bastogne axis that is not very flat.
