Maisons Royale de France

The Maisons Royal de France are the households led by various members of the royal family. Each household's positions vary, usually containing domestic, military, and religious servants groomed to serve the royal family. Most households are comprised of courtiers that reside with whom they serve.

Each household is organized into a hierarchy, with a leader (title varies on the basis of whom they serve), a junior leader (second in command), and then various courtiers in roles of varying importance. Often times, the hierarchy is based on income for lower ranks, and prestige for the higher ranks.

Those who do not serve in a defined household either reside at court, in Paris, or on family estates. However, princes du sang and extended royalty often hold minute households with two-three courtiers at most.
