The Rivière des Galets is a river located on the island of Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. It flows through the western part of the island, originating from the Piton des Neiges, the highest peak in the region. The river is known for its rocky bed, which is composed of smooth pebbles, or "galets," that have been shaped by the flowing water over time. This river is significant for its role in the local ecosystem and its contribution to the landscape of Réunion. It provides essential water resources for agriculture and supports various plant and animal species. The Rivière des Galets also attracts visitors for its scenic beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and photography.
