Arnaud's design was to cross the river by the bridge of Salabertrand, between Oulx and Exilles, but learning from a peasant, of whom they had asked for food, that an excellent supper was preparing for them, they understood it was dangerous to remain.
Their hostages, however, took advantage of the battle and escaped, with the exception of six of the oldest. Apart from the successful repulse of the troops intended to obstruct their journey, this splendid victory at the bridge of Salabertrand gave to the conquerors military stores and other booty. Arnaud's men would have been glad to have rested, but prudence bid them not to linger.
Catinat, like the Marquis de Larcy, in the affair of the bridge at Salabertrand, was so mortified at his want of success, that he declined to head another assault against the Vaudois, therefore he entrusts the command to the Marquis de Fequières.
An engraving suspended below the pulpit gives the features of the hero of San Germano of Salabertrand and the Balsille. While on his tombstone is the following Latin inscription: "Beneath this Tomb lies In the centre of the monument "Thou seest here the ashes of Arnaud, but his achievements, labours, and undaunted courage none can depict.
