At this time, Paris was filled with armies from all around, called to defend the city.
Of course, not all these troops came solely to protect Paris; some had fled to Paris due to chaos outside.
After all, just a few days' journey west from Paris into the Vendée region, the situation would be completely reversed; in Paris, Royalists were tried daily, whereas in Vendée, Blues were executed daily.

Originally, Paris was in constant chaos, a city that had expanded endlessly without any plan; its inner society was a jumble. Now, the chaos only intensified.
Amid this chaos, there was a group of volunteers who had hurried from the Upper Rhein region.
These volunteers had taken over an empty mansion of the nobility, barely getting by on the stipends provided by the Ministry of War.
