Origin and history

The Menhir says The Stone to Women is a megalithic vestige erected during the Neolithic, a period marked by the emergence of agriculture and livestock in Europe. Located in Saint-Georges-sur-Moulon, in the Cher department, this monument reflects the cultural and religious practices of the prehistoric societies of the region. Its classification as Historic Monument in 1889 underlines its heritage and archaeological importance.

Menhirs, erect stones isolated or aligned, often served as territorial landmarks, places of worship or commemoration for neolithic communities. In the Centre-Val de Loire, these megalithic structures are part of a landscape rich in prehistoric remains, reflecting an ancient and organized human occupation. Their preservation now allows us to study the techniques of size, transport and beliefs of the people of the time.

The Menhir de Saint-Georges-sur-Moulon, identified as La Pierre à la Femme, is located precisely at 133 Montpensier, according to the GPS coordinates available. Its designation and official protection make it a key element of the local heritage, accessible to the public although practical information on visits remains limited in the sources consulted.
