On 16 February, Wrede's corps was near [[Donnemarie-Dontilly]] except for Anton von Hardegg's division which was in Nangis. Württemberg's corps was near [[Montereau-Fault-Yonne|Montereau]] with advance guards near [[Melun]]. Bianchi's corps was south of the Seine between [[Moret-sur-Loing]] and [[Villeneuve-la-Guyard]] with advance guards farther west in [[Fontainebleau]]. Gyulai's corps was in [[Pont-sur-Yonne]], Barclay's Russian Reserves were near Nogent while Liechtenstein's division and the Austrian Reserves were at [[Sens]].{{sfn|Nafziger|2015|p=198}}
