Cascade de Grand Galet
Cascade de Grand Galet / Cascade Langevin
A multi-tiered waterfall deep in the Langevin River valley, with a fan of water pouring down green cliffs. Reachable by car, and the valley also offers river walking and swimming.
Grand Galet Falls lies in the upper reaches of the Langevin River valley, east of Saint-Joseph. Several streams fan out down a green cliff about 60 metres high, and the falls are often counted among Réunion's most beautiful. From the coast it is about a 20-minute drive along the valley road to the viewpoint. Along the river are many natural pools, where locals come to swim and picnic in summer, and the valley is a popular canyoning destination. Entry is free. After heavy rain the river rises quickly and rockfalls are frequent, so heed the warnings and do not swim beneath the falls.
