La cheminée du roi René, Op. 205, is a suite in seven movements for wind quintet, composed in 1939 by the French composer Darius Milhaud. The title alludes to a Provençal proverb playing on words for 'fireplace', 'chimney' and 'promenade': the 15th-century King of Sicily René d'Anjou is said to have enjoyed walks in the winter sun of Provence.
