context_page_description: The Battle of the Trouée de Charmes or Battle of the Mortagne was fought at the beginning of World War I, between 24 and 26 August 1914 by the French Second Army and the German 6th Army, after the big German victory at the Battle of the Frontiers, earlier in August.
context_section_description: The Battle of the Trouée de Charmes was a victory for the French Second Army; in stopping the Germans from passing through the Trouée de Charmes, Castelnau possibly saved the French from disaster,
  Paris a été sauvé à la Marne, c'est parce que Castelnau avait vaincu à Rozelieures (If Paris was saved at the Marne, it was because Castelnau won at Rozelieures).
  — Maurice Barrès
  The two sides regrouped and on 4 September, fought the Battle of Grand Couronné when the Germans tried to capture Nancy but they had to abandon their effort on 13 September; the front line in Lorraine remained quiet for the next four years.
