The Voile de la Mariée, the «Bridal Veil», is a waterfall in the Cirque de Salazie in the centre of Réunion, about 3 km in a straight line north-east of the village of Hell-Bourg. It is the best known of the many falls that run down the walls of this green cirque. The water drops down a plant-covered rock face in thin, scattered threads that blow apart in spray, so from a distance it looks like a long white veil, which gives the fall its name. Smaller falls run down the same wall around it, and all of them swell after the heavy rain Salazie is known for. The fall sits on the road to Hell-Bourg and can be seen from a small viewpoint beside it, so it takes only a short stop on the drive, with no walking needed. Visitors usually combine it in one day with Hell-Bourg and the cirque's other lookouts. The visit is free. It is at its best after rain, when the flow is strong, and mornings are clearest before cloud gathers on the cliffs.
