No. The revolution had already begun with the storming of the Bastille at 14 July 1789 and the Tennis Court Oath that same year. Louis' death did mark the beginning of "the Terror", an extremely bloody and murderous period during the French revolution.
The people of Paris stormed Bastille.
It led to the arrest of the King, Louis XVI, and his family.
The day the revolution was "born", was on the 14th of July 1789 (with the storming of the Bastille). Louis XVI noted in his diary: Rien (= nothing).The so-called diary was in fact a log, in which Louis XVI would record the number and species of the animals killed by the Royal Hunt on any given day (he was an excellent horseman and avid sportsman) and sometimes other equally brief notes on various topics. It was never meant as a political or personal diary. The "Nothing" entry on the 14th of July simply means that there was no hunt on that day, or that no animal was killed.Furthermore, we should not forget that the storming of the Bastille occurred in the afternoon. Paris was in an uproar. Leaving the city was difficult and dangerous. The news did not reach Louis XVI and Versailles, ten miles away, until nighttime. By then, it must have been the least of the King's worries to amend the entry in his diary.

King Louis XVI was residing at (the palace of) Versailles.
The storming of the Bastille took place on 14 July 1789. The King at that time was Louis XVI, who was sympathetic to some of the revolutionaries' demands. He was a well-meaning if ineffectual king.
Lying peacefully in his grave. I think you have the wrong Louis. The reigning King, Louis XVI, was out hunting that day. He didn't catch anything.

No, the Bastille was stormed on 14 July 1789 and King Louis XVI was never held in the Bastille. When he was imprisoned, it was at the Temple and he was not executed until 21 January 1793 almost three and a half years after the French Revolution began.
