The victory won by the Vendeans was one of the most important of the war.

Never had they fought with greater bravery.

Never did they carry out more accurately and promptly the orders of their generals.

Napoleon afterwards pronounced that the tactics pursued by la Rochejaquelein showed that he possessed the highest military genius.
It was night, alone, that saved the routed army of the Republic from absolute destruction.

It is probable that, at the time, the Vendean general had no idea of the completeness of the victory that he had won, or of the disorganization of the enemy.
