Where is Jardin Majorelle?
Jardin Majorelle is at Rue Yves Saint Laurent, 40 090 Marrakech, Morocco. The garden covers 9,000 m², with walled paths that intersect at different levels and buildings combining Art Deco and Moorish influences.
French painter Jacques Majorelle began planting exotic botanical specimens here in 1922. He conceived the garden as both a sanctuary and a botanical laboratory. Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé bought it in 1980 to save it from destruction by hotel development, and lived in Majorelle’s villa, which they renamed Villa Oasis.
