Marrakech is pure energy, it is loud, fast, busy, sometimes smelly, and then there is the Majorelle Garden: peaceful, quiet, an oasis in the middle of the huzz and the buzz!
In 1923 the French artist Jacques Majorelle built a villa and a beautiful garden in Marrakech, the place he fell in love with when visiting the years before. After his death in 1962 the property fell in disrepair and was forgotten until 1980, when Yves Saint Lauren and Pierre Bergé bought the property and put a lot of TLC (tender loving care) in it. The garden was redesigned, the artist studios reconfigured and transformed into a museum. Majorelle had invented a very specific shade of blue for this property and it is still used today!
And our evening we spent at Jemaa El Fna, with a good dinner and a perfect view to this busy market
