Origin and history

Cheftimes's cupstone is a monument classified among the French Historical Monuments. Located in the commune of Cheftimes, in Vendée (Department 85), it is located in the Pays de la Loire region. This type of archaeological vestige, characterized by cavities excavated in the rock, is often associated with ancient ritual or symbolic practices, although their precise dating and exact function are frequently debated by specialists.

The official protection of this monument was established by a classification order dated 15 June 1926. This classification applies specifically to cupstone, identified under cadastral reference A4 951. The precise location of the site, although documented in the Merimée base, is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10), which can make its identification on the ground more complex for visitors or researchers.
