You can't turn the clock backwards
After the fall of Napoleon the rulers of the Bourbon dynasty, re-installed on the French throne by the victorious coalition, attempted to set the clock back before the 1789. This attempt could not succeed, because the French people had already tasted the political liberties.
Charles X was even more stupid and reactionary than his brother and predecessor, Louis XVIII. It seems that he genuinely believed that divine forces had chosen the Bourbons as their emmisaries on earth, and that they will not allow to harm his authority! Anyway, he had lost his power on his own request.
He provoked the conflict with the parliament (not much less reactionary, nevertheless being some obstacle to reinstate absolute monarchy). Then he declared the so called July ordinances: the parliament was dissolved, the freedom of press abolished, and so on. A virtual coup d'etat. Charles X was so stupid to think that it's all over now, and he left Paris to get some rest in the country. When he came back, it was REALLY all over now: the city was revolted, and he had nothing left to do, but boarding a ship to England as soon as possible.
The problem is, that the main hero of this revolution was the unsuccesfully dissolved parliament - not less reactionary. The senators had no intention to proclaim a democratic republic - they gave the French throne to liberal Louis-Philippe from the Orlean dynasty. He became "a bourgeois king", establishing an oligarchic, laissez-faire capitalist state.
This revolution was the first gap in the wall of reaction built after the fall of Napoleon and the Vienna congress. It proved, that the Holy Order protected by European absolutist superpover, was vulnerable. Many European revolutionaries took this lesson, what resultet in such events, as the Belgian revolution or the Polish November insurrection.
