Historical background
BÂTIMENTS DU ROI
Under the Ancien Régime, the administration of the King's Buildings, dependent on the department of the House of the King, was mainly responsible for works ordered by the sovereign, in his residences in Paris or the surrounding area. There is an excellent article on wikipedia at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A2timents_du_Roi.
