What kind of bedrooms would be in a 17th-18th century European aristocrat's estate?

I am co-creating a story / world with a friend that's based in Baroque era Europe, mostly France. The main characters are aristocrats who live off their land, and as I want to get into detail in regards to the settings, I've been thinking of developing a floor plan of their home, but I am unsure of just how many and what type of bedrooms would exist in a wealthy family's home during this period aside from the typical bedrooms, dining room, etc.

Additionally, the female main character's husband has three sisters and a widowed mother. Would it be realistic that his mother continue to live with him and his wife? If so, would she remain in the same house as the wife, or did aristocratic estates have "compounds" for different family members?

Would staff live inside the family's home as well, or have their own smaller houses within the estate?
