Monsieur D'Arque is the proprietor of the Maison de Lunes, a local insane asylum. Gaston bribes him to participate in a conspiracy to blackmail Belle into marrying him, in which D'Arque threatens to have Belle's eccentric father Maurice committed to a mental institution. As Gaston, Le Fou, and the majority of the villagers await Belle's return from the Beast's castle, Monsieur D'Arque appears to collect Maurice. He appears in only two sequences, and his fate once the Beast's existence is revealed remains unknown.
