Battle of Challans

Battle of Challans (The first Battle of Challans took place on April 13, 1793, during the Vendée uprising. It ended with the victory of the republicans, who repelled an attack by the vendeans aiming to reclaim the town of Challans. After his defeat at the Battle of Pont-Charrault, General Louis de Marcé was deposed in La Rochelle by the representatives of the mission Jean-Louis Carra and Auguis, who replaced him with his second, Lieutenant Colonel Henri de Boulard, elected general by acclamation by his men after the battle. At that time, Boulard was responsible for defending Fontenay-le-Comte and Les Sables-d'Olonne, to the south of the insurrectional territory. He arrived at Les Sables by sea on April 3, 1793, and was placed at the head of a troop of 3,700 to 4,280 men.)
