The Battle of Issy was fought on the 2 and 3 July 1815 in and around the village of Issy, a short distance south west of Paris. The result was a victory for Prussian General von Zieten over an outnumbered French army commanded by General Dominique Vandamme. Issy was the last attempt of the French army to defend Paris from falling to the Coalition for the second time in two years.
