- The march began among women in the market places of Paris who, on the morning of October 1789, were near rioting over the high price and scarcity of bread.
- The market women and their various allies grew into a mob of thousands and , encouraged by revolutionary agitators, they ransacked the city armoury for weapons and marched to the Palace of Versailles.
