Village (Beauty and the Beast)

The village was a location in the film Beauty and the Beast. It acted as Belle's hometown, and was described to be a relatively quiet, secluded village with every day like the day before. It was a provincial farming community which had a flower shop, a bakery, a wig shop, a bookstore, and a tavern. Belle's Cottage was just a walk away. Because it was a farming community, livestock such as sheep and pigs are often seen in the area.

New Fantasyland in Walt Disney World Resort has a scaled down version of the town.

Places of interest

 * Atrium: The public square. Includes a fountain.
 * Tavern: Gaston's main hideout.
 * Bookstore: A place that sells books that Belle frequently visits. It apparently has a return policy, as Belle returned a book she had previously read (implied to beJack and the Beanstalk) to the store due to having finished it. Belle was apparently a frequent customer to the store based on her interactions with the bookstore owner.
 * Boulangerie: A bakery that creates and sells various foods such as baquettes. According to Belle, it sells various rolls and breads, and apparently may have been among the first things that opened each and every day.
 * Barber: Seen on the second floor of a building near the outskirts of the village.
 * Al Petit Chapleau: A place that sells wigs and hats, with at least one rotund female customer being there.
 * Market: various fish and eggs are sold in the area.
 * Plantes & Fleurs: A shop in one of the alleyways of the village. It is presumably a flower shop based on the name (which means "Plants and Flowers" in French) and a flower at the bottom of the sign.
 * DeLacroise: A shop in one of the alleyways of the village, to the right of Plantes & Fleurs. It was presumably a poultry shop due to the presence of chicken hanging from the stall.
 * Stockades: A place of punishment for more unruly villagers, where their heads and hands were entrapped between a board and are forced to kneel.
 * Tobacco shop: A place that sells tobacco. It was marked with a tobacco pipe.
 * Larget: A storefront that was presumably a kitchenware shop.
 * La Puissance: A storefront.
 * La Jamon: An open air market that sold fish. Apparently some of the fish had a chance of going stale based on a villager's complaint.
 * A Cafe.
 * A cobber.
 * A tool shop.

Trivia

 * The specific location of the village is never stated outside of it being French, although it may be in Gascony, due to the town hero's name being Gaston, which means "from Gascony."
 * Belle's exact status in the town is contradicted in some sources. The opening song has her mentioning that every day in the village was the same since "the morning we [Belle and Maurice] came to this poor, provincial town," implying that she may not have been born at the village, but moved there. The musical further substantiates this claim by mentioning that Belle and Maurice had moved to the town recently at the beginning of the film. However, Belle's statements about the village schedule indicates that she had lived in the village long enough to predict what would occur, and Issue 5 of the Disney Comic Hits! series by Marvel Comics shows Belle, alongside Gaston and Laura, Paula, and Claudia as children during a snowy day, implying that Belle may have at the very least moved to the village when she was fairly young, if not was born there.
 * Belle's statement that the town was "poor" was contradicted briefly in the opening song, which showed a wig store with a fat bald woman trying on a wig. During the setting of the film, wigs were frequently worn by people who were considered wealthy. In addition, Gaston was implied to be quite wealthy in the film. She could actually be referring to the architecture of the buildings in the town.
