The French Revolution was basically a revolt against the ancient system where certain families were very rich, including those of the royalty and the nobility. The aristocracy belonged to these groups of people and most were astronomically wealthy. However, some aristocratic families could be penniless. Whether or not you were rich, as an aristocrat you or the people around you had some form of power over non-nobles. So during the French Revolution, as you would imagine, hundreds and hundreds of aristocrats fled to the safety of other cities, such as London, when the Storming of the Bastille took place. This marked the beginning of a terror for people of any means. Those who remained in France were eventually trapped and thrown in prison, trialed and found guilty and met their death with the guillotine. Some were not even given trials. This is because in order for the revolution to work, all previous people with power had to be gone. They were condemned to death as traitors to the nation. Nearly all were murdered.
Many managed to escape and found refuge in other countries where they became emigres. They lost their French estates but kept their lives. Some lost their lives to mobs who sought revenge for imagined royalist abuses. A few made an effort to assimilate, a large number were imprisoned and another small group made an overt effort at counter revolution.

Did Marie Antoinettes children survive the revolution?
Louis XVI and Marie-Antionette had two daughters and two sons. Two of these died before the Revolution. The two royal children alive during the Revolution were Louis the Dauphin, heir to the Throne, and Marie-Therese. Marie-Therese and Louis were separated from their parents when they were imprisoned (both their parents were put on trial and executed). The Dauphin died in prison; it is not clear whether it was a deliberate murder or whether he simply died of illness in the unsanitary conditions of the prison. He was never put on trial. Louis was later known as "Louis XVII" despite the fact that he was never crowned as King. A number of people attempted to impersonate him in later life and claim the French throne. Marie-Therese survived the Revolution and died in 1851.
