The French peasantry were most obviously angered wit Louis XVI's expensive wars and the severe food shortages. However, the French Revolution was not led by the peasantry, but instead by the rising bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie were upper-middle class gentry who were often more wealthy than their aristocratic counterparts. These were the men who led the revolution due to their lack of voice in the government. Mass involvement came later through general dissatisfaction.
The main reasons were: - high taxation of the peasant class - forced and unpaid labour on the noblemen's estates - famine of 1315 - bad handling of French king and nobles of the war against the English and banditry by uncontrolled bands of soldiers

The blue and red of the flag have been the colours of Paris since 1358 when they were used by the followers of Etienne Marcel, then leader of a Parisian revolt against the King of France and the Dauphin. In 1794, the Convention officially adopted the tricolour, the Commander of the Guard, Lafayette, having reputedly added the royal white between the blue and the red.[1]
