Jardin Majorelle

For the last stop of the day, we took a petit taxi across town (10 Dirham = €1) to get to Jardin Majorelle. The botanical garden was created by the French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s and was later purchased and restored by the famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé in the 1980s. Yves Saint Laurent found immense inspiration in the garden’s vibrant colors and serene atmosphere. After his death in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the rose garden within Jardin Majorelle.

I particularly liked the tranquility of the garden, even though it was well visited. My personal highlight was the Berber Museum, which tastefully displays artifacts, clothes everyday utensils, and jewelry of the Berbers. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures, so you'll have to go there to see it for yourself!Weiterlesen
