The Battle of Ravine-à-Couleuvres (in Haitian Creole Batay Ravin Koulèv, sometimes in English Battle of Snake Gully) was a major battle of the Haitian Revolution. A French detachment under General Charles Leclerc was advancing down a ravine (the Ravine-à-Couleuvres), towards the city of Lacroix, Haiti. The leader of the Haitian revolutionary forces, Toussaint Louverture, attempted to stop his advance. The French defeated Louverture's army.
