Grand Galet Falls, Waterfall in Saint-Joseph, Réunion, France
Grand Galet Falls is a waterfall in southern Réunion that drops through successive tiers into natural pools as part of the Langevin River system. The water flows through a forested valley creating pools of varying depths along its course.
The falls lie within Réunion National Park, on the boundary of the commune of Saint-Joseph. In 2022, €941,000 was allocated to renovate the entrance, including reinforcement of the only bridge linking the site to the Passerelle and Grand Défriché neighbourhoods.
The falls are also called Langevin Falls, after the river that feeds them. On weekends and holidays the natural pool below the cascade is used for swimming and picnics, and the site lies within Réunion National Park.
Access is via the National Road from Saint-Joseph toward Langevin, turning left at the sugar cane weighing station. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the path to the pools can be uneven and slippery in places.
