là voilà vs la voilà ?

Paul S.C1KwizIQ Q&A regular contributor

"Ah, la voilà !"

Would "là voilà" be an acceptable alternative to la voilà in this context ?

I've checked reverso and it appears it might be a usable locution.

Thanks. Paul.

La voilá is correct. It means "There she is!" Là voilá is incorrect because you already have "there" in voilà. You don't need another là.
