Commentary
La bataille de Valmy également appelée bataille ou affaire du camp de la Lune est la première victoire décisive de l'armée française pendant les guerres de la Révolution ayant suivi le renversement de la monarchie des Bourbons. Elle eut lieu le 20 septembre 1792 lorsqu'une armée prussienne commandée par le duc de Brunswick essaya de marcher sur Paris. Les généraux François-Christophe Kellermann et Charles-François Dumouriez réussirent à stopper l'avance prussienne près du village de Valmy situé à l'est de Paris, en Champagne-Ardenne.
