Which Elton John album was recorded at Château d'Hérouville in France?

Honky Château was recorded at Château d'Hérouville in France.

The château housed a residential recording studio that attracted major artists during the 1970s. Elton John and his collaborators recorded the album there in 1972, taking advantage of the informal atmosphere and the ability to work away from conventional London studios.

The sessions produced “Rocket Man,” “Honky Cat,” and “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.” The album's sound is relatively intimate and band-focused, with John, Dee Murray, and Nigel Olsson forming the core rhythm section.

Several other Elton John albums were recorded at the same French studio, including parts of Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. That is why the location is often associated with John's early-1970s catalogue generally, although Honky Château is the clearest answer when the question asks for a major album made there.
