The Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech is an enchanting and mysterious garden, created by French painter Jacques Majorelle over a course of forty years. In 1922, he passionately startedplanting it with exotic botanical specimens from the far corners of the world. Walk past refreshing, burbling streams and pools filled with water lilies and lotus flowers; listen to the rustling of leaves and the chirping of numerous birds who come here to take refuge; and explore the building with Moorish charm and a hint of Art Deco, painted in astonishingly vibrant primary colours, glowing with an intense blue the artist perceived in the Atlas Mountains. In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, purchased the Jardin Majorelle to save it from destruction at the hands of hotel developers
