CHAMBRE AUX DENIERS
The chambre aux deniers was “a kind of accounting chamber established for the king's personal expenses, or rather the expenses of his household” (Charles Préau, Étude sur la Chambre aux deniers du roi du XIIe au XVIe siècle). It was also called the “chambre aux deniers de l'hôtel” and was regularly established since the reign of Louis the Saint. The expenses of the offices, Paneterie, Echansonnerie, Cuisine, Fruiterie, Écurie and Fourrière, were covered by the Chambre aux deniers, which received funds from the Chambre du Trésor.
