This menhir, typical of neolithic constructions, bears witness to the human activity and cultural practices of that time in the region. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1967, highlighting its heritage and archaeological importance.

In the Neolithic era, the region of the Pays de la Loire was inhabited by sedentary farming and livestock communities. Menhirs, like that of the Accommodation, were often erected for ritual, funeral or symbolic reasons. These monuments marked the landscape and probably served as landmarks for local populations, reflecting a complex social and spiritual organization.

The Menhir de l'Accomodation is located precisely in the commune of Montreuil-Bellay, with an approximate address at the place called La Petite Champagne. It is included in the inventory of historical monuments by order of 6 July 1967, under the reference BN 42 in the cadastre. This classification guarantees its protection and preservation for future generations.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a historical monument and its location in the department of Maine-et-Loire. Menhir is owned by the municipality of Montreuil-Bellay, which implies local management of this heritage. No additional information is provided on its accessibility or current use.
