MARRAKECH
Majorelle gardens
These gardens were laid out in the period when colonialism was still a good word in Europe. In the 1920s the French artist Jacques Majorelle had it made, complete with pools, banana trees, coconut palms, bougainvilleas, and houses in a fantastic dark blue colour.
The gardens have later been taken well care of the French couturier Yves Saint-Laurent, who have added a private museum of North African artefacts.
Entrance is 15dh, open every day 8.00-12.00 and 13.00-19.00 in summer (April-September) and until 17.30 in fall (September-November) and until 17.00 in winter (December-March).
