Best Answer

The proletariat often rioted for bread during the French Revolution. Under the Ancient Regime, there was terrible inflation and horrible harvests, and they starved. An example of an urban riot in Paris was the march to Versailles, when thousands of women marched to Versailles to force the king, Louis XVI, to return to Paris. From Versailles, the women got cartloads of flour to feed their families as well.
