The French Revolution isn't as monlolithic as it may seem. The story of the Revolution is always of a monarchy that suggested the starving peasantry eat cake. However it's more complex.

The French Revolution actually starts more concerned with matters of State, with multiple failures to reform the Crowns finances in order to prevent bankruptcy. Finally, the Estates General would be called for the same of trying to find a new solution (hopefully a solution that would tax the Second Estate, the nobility) to the financial situtiation but it fell apart because of attempts by the nobility to marginalize the votes of the Third Estate (representing everyone that wasn't noble or clergy but still the official Estate representatives were middle class, likes Lawyer Maximilian Robespierre). With this attempt to marginalize, many from the Thirsmd Estate and some of the First (the Clergy) formed and swore to make a Constitution for France (the Tennis Court Oath). With troops moved toward Paris essentially out of fear that the Revoltion would go too far, the people of Paris effectively freaked out and stormed the Bastille for arms.

The problem is that the Revolution is mainly supported by major cities like Paris and Marseille, who are major sources of liberalism. Conversely there is a large number who support the King and not the Revolution in many places of France but most notably to the west and south of France, the Vendee being the most famous part of it.

The problem is that the peasantry may have not liked it but some saw things as a natural order. They were peasants, there was a king, and this is as God ordained it. The Revolution, being at odds with the Curch and killing the King, are breaking that order, this they want to restore it.

The French Revolution is a mess and was far from monolithic.
