In hard fighting that lasted until evening, French troops including the Imperial Guard defeated Sacken's Russian soldiers and compelled them to retreat to the north.

picture info	Dentelles De Montmirail The Dentelles de Montmirail are a small Mountain range, chain of mountains in Provence in France, in the ''département in France, département'' of Vaucluse, located just to the south of the village of Vaison-la-Romaine. They are foothills of the highest peak in Provence, Mont Ventoux, which is situated just to the east. The dramatically jagged shape of their peaks was formed by horizontal strata of Jurassic limestone being folded and forced into a nearly upright position and subsequently eroded into sharp-edged ridges and spikes. The highest peak of the Dentelles is St-Amand, at 734 m (2,400 ft). The range, which is about 8 km wide, offers over 600 trails for walking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. The foot of the Dentelles is surrounded by vineyards of the Rhône wine, Rhône Valley. Etymology Their name ''dentelles'', the French word for lace, refers to their shape obtained by erosion, while ''Montmirail'' is derived from the Latin ''mons mirabilis ...
