	abstract = {<p>Mostly known to art historians, the libraries of royal chateaux as they were in the 18th century have not received much attention in terms of their content, how they were created, their classification or the genealogy of their catalogs. Unreleased or rarely cited documents, kept in the Manuscripts Department of the National Library of France, and in the National Archives, provide us with a better understanding of the workings of the libraries of Versailles, Compi{\`e}gne, Fontainebleau and Choisy-le-Roi, intended to facilitate the work and recreation activities of the royal monarchs.<br>An exploration of the volumes that survived the destruction or seizures of the French revolution offer us new and exciting insight into the reading habits and preferences of Louis XV and Louis XVI.</p>},
