Order is fully restored in the city …

Years: 1788 - 1788
June
Order is fully restored in the city on the 14th of July by Marshal Vaux, who replaces the Duke of Clermont-Tonnerre.

The commander of the troops finds the situation so alarming that he agrees to allow the meeting of the Estates to proceed, but not in the capital.

A meeting is therefore arranged for the July 21, 1788 at the nearby village of Vizille.

This meeting will become known as the Assembly of Vizille.

In all, six outbreaks of rioting have been identified in the city during the 7th of June.
