On the morning of 14 July 1789 the city of Paris was in a state of alarm .The king had commanded troops to move into the city.Rumours spread that he would soon order the army to open fire upon the citizens .Some 7000 men and women gathered in front of the town hall and decided to form peoples militia .They broke into a number of govt. buildings in search of arms.
Finally a group of several 100 people marched towards the eastern part of the city of Paris and stormed the fortress prison ,the Bastille where they hoped to find ammunition .in the armed fight that followed the commander of Bastille was killed and 7 prisoners were relieved. The fortress was demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the markets to all those who wished to keep a souvenir of its destruction...
