Le Bureau is a 2006 French television show written and directed by Nicolas & Bruno. It is a French version of the popular British television series The Office. Le Bureau adapted the scripts of the original British series, with proper names and many particular cultural references.[1]

Cast

Summary

It takes place in Villepinte, a business park in the northeast suburbs of Paris.

The series stars François Berléand as Gilles Triquet, France's version of David Brent. Another notable actor, Jérémie Elkaïm of Presque rien fame, also stars in the series playing the French version of Tim Canterbury.

Filming with the French cast was completed in early February; the series began airing on 25 May 2006.

It is the first foreign-language remake of the show, although the German series Stromberg used the The Office as a basis for its show format. A dubbed version of the first UK series that ran on cable in France in 2004 faired poorly.
