The condition of the peasants of the Third Estate in the French society was very poor. During the Old Regime, peasants made up 90% of the population and had less than 40% of the land. The Third Estate had to pay taxes levied by the state and the church. During the 1800s, due to increase in population, the production could not keep pace and thus the prices of grains increased with the tax. Poor people and peasant were no longer able to buy bread. The rising taxes and prices with the bad harvest brought food riots and the Third Estate came under a subsistence crisis.

Hello there your answer

●Condition of French peasants in 18th century was very horrible

●Peasents only make up so much percentage of French society

●Peasents had to face very bad loss of their crops due to environmental impact

● They did not have money due to crop failure so they didn't have much to eat also

●On top of this they had to pay many taxes as they belong to third estate so their condition worsened

Hope it helps you dear. . . . .
