The victory let France regain nearly all land lost to Spain in 1793, leaving only two Spanish forts on French soil.
Dugommier's decisive victory resulted in the French regaining nearly all the land they had lost to the Kingdom of Spain in 1793. After Boulou, the only Spanish forts remaining on French soil were Collioure and Bellegarde; the French captured Collioure on 26 May 1794, while Bellegarde held out until 17 September 1794. Historian Digby Smith stated that the Spanish army never recovered from this setback.
