The Bureau du Roi (French pronunciation: [byʁo dy ʁwa], 'the King's desk'), also known as Louis XV's roll-top desk (French: Secrétaire à cylindre de Louis XV), is the richly ornamented royal cylinder desk which was constructed at the end of Louis XV's reign, and is now again in the Palace of Versailles.
