The French society was divided into three estates before the French Revolution of 1789:

  1. 1st Estate - Clergy
  2. 2nd Estate - Nobility
  3. 3rd Estate - Big businessman, merchants, court officials, lawyers, peasants, artisans, landless labours, servants, etc.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
