The First Battle of Boulou (3–4 October and 14–15 October 1793) saw a Republican French army led by Eustache Charles d'Aoust attack a Spanish Royal army commanded by Antonio Ricardos. Despite winning a recent victory over the French, Ricardos fell back to the Tech River valley where he had his troops construct a fortified camp. On 3–4 October, the Spanish army successfully defended its camp at Le Boulou against several French assaults. After a French night attack on 14–15 October against the Pla-del-Rey entrenchments also failed, d'Aoust withdrew his forces, having suffered disproportionate losses. D'Aoust was soon replaced in army command by a new leader.
