The army of De Thermes was totally destroyed, and with it, the last hope of France for an honorable and equal negotiation.

She was now at Philip's feet, so that this brilliant cavalry action, although it has been surpassed in importance by many others, in respect to the numbers of the combatants and the principles involved in the contest, was still, in regard to the extent both of its immediate and its permanent results, one of the most decisive and striking which have ever been fought.

The French army engaged was annihilated.

Marshal de Thermes, with a wound in the head, Senarpont, Annibault, Villefon, Morvilliers, Chanlis, and many others of high rank were prisoners.

The French monarch had not much heart to set about the organization of another army; a task which he was now compelled to undertake.
