There were two. The first was the storming of the Bastille on July 14th 1789. The second was the Tennis Court Oath.
When Louis XVI had to convoke the Estates General, the third estate (the bourgeoisie) ordered to double their numbers in the Estates General, because the majority of France existed of Bourgeoisie. The others 2 estates (the nobility and the clergy) did not agree with this, but the King gave in to the third estate. When the Estates General met, they had on one occasion locked out the third estates members. They went to a nearby tennis court at Versailles and swore they would not dissemble until a constitution for France would be drawn up and accepted. Both occasions were significant for the beginning of the French Revolution.

What was the life of an aristocrat like during the French Revolution?
The French Revolution was basically a revolt against the ancient system where certain families were very rich, including those of the royalty and the nobility. The aristocracy belonged to these groups of people and most were astronomically wealthy. However, some aristocratic families could be penniless. Whether or not you were rich, as an aristocrat you or the people around you had some form of power over non-nobles. So during the French Revolution, as you would imagine, hundreds and hundreds of aristocrats fled to the safety of other cities, such as London, when the Storming of the Bastille took place. This marked the beginning of a terror for people of any means. Those who remained in France were eventually trapped and thrown in prison, trialed and found guilty and met their death with the guillotine. Some were not even given trials. This is because in order for the revolution to work, all previous people with power had to be gone. They were condemned to death as traitors to the nation. Nearly all were murdered.
