Broque Monsieur is a character in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. He speaks with a French accent and appears to be made from ? Blocks. According to the Japanese official site, he is the Mushroom Kingdom's leading block collector. He is also a collector of block-shaped kittens called Blitties. He has a dog, Broggy, and manages a store with Bowser's healing items. Broque speaks French and English with an accent. In the Japanese version, he can speak English. (In a screenshot, he says "Oh my dog! What's happen!" [sic] He is shown in a battle against Bowser. He explains the "vacuum" command to Bowser. He fights by using items he gets out of ? Blocks. Sometimes he uses a mushroom to recover 30 HP and sometimes he uses a Mega Mushroom and makes himself giant. To counter Broque's giant move, the player has to make Bowser punch Broque just as he's about to ram into him. Doing this will make Broque's body be knocked far away from the battle field. While Broque's body is trying to get to his head, Bowser can punch his head for extra coins. When being battled, he rotates his head to make himself look more fierce.

Broque also runs a shop where he sell equipment for Bowser. These shops may be the replacement of Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge from the previous game. He also has some shops around the Mushroom Kingdom in a shape of a T.V. He owns two different shops. One for armor, which is run by his dog Broggy, and one for items such as Syrup.

While Broque is amicable towards Bowser, he has a strong dislike of Mario because he considers Mario's habit of breaking blocks to be abhorrent. Because of this, Broque will refuse to sell items to Mario, and insist he leaves his shop immediately.

His English name may be a pun on "croque monsieur", which is a French hot ham and cheese sandwich.
