Assembly of Vizille

Its purpose was to discuss the events of The Day of the Tiles, one of the first revolts preceding the French Revolution.

This drove royal troops out of the city in the first outbreak of political violence that became the revolution.

[2] In July, Claude Perier, inspired by all of the liberal ideas around him, assembled a meeting in the room of the Jeu de Paume in his Chateau de Vizille and hosted the meeting which was previously prohibited in Grenoble.

In attendance there were many "notables" including churchmen, businessmen, doctors, notaries, municipal officials, lawyers, and landed nobility of the province of Dauphiné.

[4] Opposition to absolutist monarchy finally came out into the open, with increasing support for its demands, culminating in the meeting of the Estates General.
