Short answer: At the beginning of the story, Paris is under siege and full of fear and confusion.
Textual-evidence help: I can give exact quotes if you tell me the story title or paste the passage. Look for lines that use words like "surrounded," "siege," "bombardment," "starving," or "refugees" — those are direct clues the city is under attack.
Example of how to include a quote (example only, not from your story):
"The city was surrounded and the guns never stopped" shows that Paris was under siege and in chaos.
Send the story title or the passage and I will add real textual evidence in the same short, 8th-grade style.
