The bureaux (singular bureau) des Finances were regional financial administrations in France during the Ancien Régime. They were set up after the merger of the offices of Treasurer of France and général des finances into Treasurer General of France. They existed from 1577 until 1789 and underwent several modifications during that time.[1]
History
