96!
____
It was actually 98 according to my history book!
:3
beware History books. They simplify. They even occasionally exaggerate, just to get their point across. I have consulted several French sources, and the best figures I can come up with are:
Total Population 26,000,000
!st Estate (Clergy) 120.000
2nd Estate (Nobility) 400,000
3rd Estate 25,480,000
Which is nearer to your 98%. BUT the figure of 26,000,000 population is not exact or in fact exactly known; estimates range from 28,000,000 down to 24,000,000.
Pick your figure!
Between 95 and 97 percent depending on the year.

Everyone else excluding the 1st estate and 2nd estate, so the bourgeois made up the third estate. Particularly the rich people.
The Third Estate was comprised of 96% of the French population. Of that, 90% included 22 million peasants, laborers and artisans.
Since the Third Estate took up 97% and the Second Estate 2%, the First Estate would be about 1% of the population.
