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 site was designated as a protected area to preserve the natural environment of this French island territory. Over time it has become an important location for conservation efforts in the region.
The falls serve as a gathering place where local families spend time together on weekends by the riverside. The flowing water and natural surroundings hold meaning for those who live nearby.
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.
The natural water slides and deep pools allow beginners to try canyoning activities through the tropical vegetation. These activities combine jumps and slides with exploration of the river system.
