The Storming of the Bastille took place in Paris on Tuesday, July 14, 1789. Although the medieval fortress known as the Bastille held only seven prisoners and the guards were retired Swiss, its fall into the hands of the Parisian revolutionaries symbolically meant the end of the Old Regime and the starting point of the French Revolution .
That same day, the French monarch, Louis XVI, noted in his personal diary:
Nothing remarkable.
If we left the story here, Louis XVI would be a stupid monarch, arrogant and far from reality. We'll be fair to him and finish the story.
It is true that Louis XVI made that entry in his diary but he was referring to the result of the hunting day on the same day the Bastille was taken.
