Introduction

The Jardin Majorelle sits in Marrakech's Gueliz quarter, designed in 1924 by French painter Jacques Majorelle; the vivid cobalt 'Majorelle blue' still comes from paint mixed and flown in from France. Cacti tower over the paths, palm and bamboo shade a tiled fountain, and the blue villa now houses the Berber Museum. Yves Saint Laurent bought the garden in 1980 and restored it for decades; in 2017 his ashes and those of partner Pierre Bergé were interred beneath a Moorish-style memorial inside. Go right at opening to beat the heat and tour groups.
