Saint-Just-en-Chevalet

Saint-Just-en-Chevalet is a small commune in the Loire department of France, with a population of just over 1000 inhabitants. It recently gained attention due to a visit from American actor Robert De Niro in March 2026. De Niro spent three days, from March 24th to 26th, filming a documentary about his father in the village. The visit was described as discreet but historically significant. While De Niro is typically seen in France at film premieres and festivals, his presence in Saint-Just-en-Chevalet was specifically for this personal project, making the village a temporary film location and generating local interest.
