i ran into the same question a while back i cant find the crossword puzzle but i believe it is a tennis court, where the tennis court oath was made
The Tennis Court Oath was a very important event during the early days of the French Revolution - members of the Third Estate who were locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General held a conference in a tennis court.
In response to the Third Estate meeting, King Louis XVI initially attempted to dismiss the assembly and maintain the traditional structure of the Estates-General, which favored the first two estates (clergy and nobility). However, as tensions rose and the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly, he eventually conceded by calling for a joint session of the Estates-General. His indecisiveness and failure to effectively address the grievances of the Third Estate contributed to the growing unrest that led to the French Revolution.
The National Assembly - l'Assemblée Nationale
Louis XVI called a meeting of the Estates General at the Palace of Versailles in May 1789. This assembly was convened to address the financial crisis facing France and involved representatives from the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The meeting marked a significant moment in the lead-up to the French Revolution, as it highlighted the growing discontent among the Third Estate.
Louis XVI called a meeting of the Estates General in 1789 because he needed more revenue. BTW, the French aristocracy was exempt from taxation. Does this sound familiar?
The third estate was excluded from the estates general meeting. As the third estate made up the general populace they then formed a meeting at the local tennis court where the tennis court oath took place; this is also how they formed their national assembly for the third estate. The fact that they were excluded is said to be a contributing factor to the French Revolution
it was the first meeting since 1614 of the french Estate General, a general assembly representing the french estate of realm.

False, it was Louis XVI who wanted to discuss the National debt.
It was the Etats Generaux, or Estates-General, which were a popular assembly composed of three estates, the nobility, the clergy and the 'third estate', which declared itself 'Assemblee Nationale' in June 1789. Really, the French revolution began with the Estates-General and the Serment du Jeu de Paume (or Tennis Court Oath) on June 20 1789 during which the representatives of the third estate took the pledge to write a constitution.
