What occured in France on July 14 1789 that set off the French revolution?

On July 14th, 1789, the Parisians aided by members of the National guard stormed the fortress and prison of La Bastille, in the hope to seize gunpowder and ammunitions for cannons and guns they had already taken from the arsenal of the Invalids. After a stand-off, a volley of bullets was fired from the fortress; that infuriated the mob who stormed the fortress, killed its governor and set the (seven) prisoners free. That event did not really 'set off' the French revolution as trouble was already brewing, but the day marks the beginning of the historical period of the French revolution.
