The march on Versailles's main purpose was to obtain bread and force the price of bread down to where it had been. Versailles was also known as a great big paradise where there were a lot of parties held and the King did nothing but hunt and have fun. It was a very huge surprise to have all of these working class people march into the palace and demand bread from the King. Maire Antoniette’s famous saying “Let them eat cake”

Bread was the main diet of the French people at this time. The people had so much trouble trying to get food, that at Versailles, a mad crowd of people killed a baker who was trying to sell his bread at 18 sous [French money], which was very costly for the people. This incident showed exactly how much bread meant to the people in Paris.

6000 Women joined the march The women were armed with pitch forks, muskets, pikes, swords, bludgeons, crowbars, and scythes as they marched through the rain. When the women reached Versailles, they stormed through the gates The King was scared and overwhelmed by group of people that stood before him.

The king gave into the women's demands. He then told the women that he would have all of the bread in Versailles ordered out to them. The King decided to move his court to Paris
