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.

It reflects the tensions and divisions in society, as the revolution initially aimed to empower these classes but ultimately led to paranoia about counter-revolutionary sentiments. This indicates that despite initial support for revolutionary ideals, the radical phase of the Revolution alienated many, ultimately undermining the revolution's broader goals of liberty and equality.
