JARDIN MAJORELLE

Yves Saint Laurent Secret Garden

Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé bought the electric-blue villa and its garden to preserve the vision of its original owner, landscape painter Jacques Majorelle, and keep it open to the public. It took French painter Jacques Majorelle forty years of passion and dedication to create this enchanting garden in the heart of the “Ochre City”.

Thanks to ethnobotanist Abderrazak Benchaâbane, the garden Majorelle began cultivating in 1924 is now a psychedelic desert mirage of 300 plant species from five continents. We are soothed and enchanted by the harmony of this luxuriant and vivid imagery, which issues a delicate summons to the senses, offering us a calming retreat near the bustling city, sheltered from time by high earthen walls.Majorelle’s art-deco studio houses a Berber Art Museum, showcasing the rich panorama of Morocco's indigenous inhabitants in displays of some 600 artefacts.
