Château Anquetil, 19th century château in La Neuville-Chant-d'Oisel, France.

The mansion features an Italian-style architecture with two floors and an extension wing added during the 1874 modifications by architect Emile Janet.

Jules Maupassant, a tobacco merchant from Rouen, initiated the construction in 1835 after purchasing a 130-hectare estate that included the forest of Longboël.

The residence welcomed numerous French literary figures, including writer Guy de Maupassant and painter Louis Pottevin, who owned the property from 1869 to 1872.

The château functions as a guesthouse and event venue, situated 25 minutes from Rouen and one hour from Paris by car.

Champion cyclist Jacques Anquetil acquired the property in 1961, leading to its alternative name Château des Elfes when he established residence in 1969.
