[3] Two weeks after being repulsed at the Battle of Chevilly, French general Joseph Vinoy again conducted an expedition south of Paris.

[2] After a heavy artillery bombardment from the forts to the south, Vinoy sent three vertical formations towards the Clamart heights.

General Von Hartmann of Germany implemented a strategy to let the enemy go too far, so that his army would surround the enemy and push them into the range of German artillery and infantry.

[4] At the beginning of the attack, the French defeated the outposts of the II corps from Châtillon and Sceaux.

After a battle that lasted for about 6 hours (including the participation of the 8th and then 7th Bavarian brigade ),[5] the German crossfire forced the French to run away.
