Château Anquetil stands in La Neuville-Chant-d'Oisel (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set in the Andelle valley not far from Rouen, Château Anquetil owes its reputation to the people who lived there rather than to its architecture: first the Maupassant family, then the painter Louis Pottevin who had the house rebuilt as a château in the 1870s, and finally the cyclist Jacques Anquetil, who moved in during 1969. The estate is still held by his family and now functions mainly as a venue for private events, surrounded by rolling meadows.

The château functions primarily as an event venue for weddings, seminars and stays, not as a monument with fixed public visiting hours.
To visit the grounds, visitors are asked to call ahead before arriving.
The property lies about 25 minutes from Rouen and an hour from Paris.
