The tried to escape from the Tuileries palace toMontmédy on the 21st of June 1791. They never reached Montmédy though, as they were caught in Varennes and brought back to Paris.
He didn't react violent at all. As a matter of fact he reacted very apathically. The third estate wanted to overtrow the monarchy (thus, Louis XVI as their king), and since he was an execellent king, he was also a weak one. He did not resist. The only thing he did do, was try to flee the country, but he was captured.
He knew that if he wouldn't, the monarchy would die for sure and he and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, would be dethroned. He wanted to try to get across the border in order to rescue the monarchy from dying so the throne would be saved. He also knew that if he wouldn't succeed, the monarchy would be slaughtered after all. He decided to take the risk after Marie Antoinette had begged him to do so.
Oh, dude, Louis XVI tried to flee France because he was like, "Peace out, I'm outta here!" He wanted to escape the whole French Revolution drama and probably catch some sunshine in another country. But, like, the dude got caught and ended up losing his head over it. Tough break, man.
Oh, dude, Louis XVI finally agreed to summon the Estates-General because, like, France was in a bit of a pickle with all the financial issues and the whole French Revolution looming over his head. It was basically like hitting the panic button - "Oh no, things are getting messy, better call in the big guns." So, he was like, "Fine, let's bring in the Estates-General and see if they can help sort this mess out."
He tried to escape to austria, but the people stopped his carriage before he had past the border.

Yes, he attempted to flee France and nearly made it to the border, disguised, with his family, as a servant, but was caught and sent back to Paris.
