Saint-Just-la-Pendue (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒy(st) la pɑ̃dy]; Arpitan: Sant-Just-la-Pendua) is a commune in the Loire department in central France.

Name

The name of the commune dates from the 11th century and is recorded in the documents of Savigny Abbey, Rhône. The qualifying name la Pendue stems from an oral tradition of a woman hanged for adultery, who, after four days, fell to the ground alive, a proof of her innocence. Supposedly the location of the execution, a local wood also bears the name la Pendue.
