A bourgeois gentilhomme is not really landed gentry but more a bourgeois gentleman hoping to climb social status and accede nobility. Let us say, the layer under the aristocracy (which is landed gentry in the UK) is there as well in France: respectable, notable and locally prominent families, sometimes owing lands and châteaux, but never elevated into Nobility.
We know really nothing from Caroline Philipe, hard to say in which circles her family socializes.
