Castle to Castle is the English title of the 1957 novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, titled in French D'un château l'autre. The book features Céline's experiences in exile with the Vichy French government at Sigmaringen, Germany, towards the end of World War II. One of the characters which appears is the actor Robert Le Vigan, a close friend.

For the first U.S. edition, translator Ralph Manheim won the 1970 National Book Award in category Translation.[1]

It was adapted into the 2015 graphic novel La Cavale du Dr Destouches by Paul Brizzi and Gaëtan Brizzi, along with Céline's other novels North and Rigadoon.[2]
