This article needs to be fleshed out. I am going to list a few Internet sources below which are not in themselves reliable, but they may contain facts that will allow other sources to be found on the Internet that are more reliable. Also included is mention of another skirmish at Rocquencourt near Versailles. --PBS 17:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Handing over Paris to the enemy without even token resistance was considered dishonorable, so one last show of force was deemed necessary. The firing across Seine River continued for long time. Near Issy the Prussian and French skirmishers crossed bayonets. The Prussian casualties were 30 officers and 1,241 other ranks. Other than that, Wellington's troops did little else other than bring up the Reserves to a bivouac between Bonneuil and Arnouville. At 7 AM the French artillery ceased fire. General Revest offering the surrender of Paris, requested a cease-fire. The French troops marched out of Paris between 5th and 11th July. Meanwhile Marshal Massena maintained order in the city.

On 6th July General Ziethen deployed three battalions, one squadron and one battery to each of the 11 gates to Paris on the left bank of the Seine. He also detached one cavalry regiment from each army corps to restore order in the rear of the army.
