Jardin Majorelle Garden Marrakech


Morocco - Essaouira - Fez - Marrakech - Agadir
Jardin Majorelle Garden, Marrakech is one of the must see spots in Morocco. Not only attracting tourists from allover the globe, but also luring the local dwellers to spend a sunny day or relax on the green grasses determines the appeal of this magnificent Moroccan garden. During your Marrakech sightseeing, if you get tired, just come to this tranquil spot to have a magnificent feeling of relaxation.

These gardens belonged to the era when colonialism was still a superior word in Europe. During the colonial period when Morocco was occupied by France. And obviously it’s the creation of a French man who put vivacity in this garden. In the 1920s the French artist Jacques Majorelle made it, completed with pools, coconut palms, bougainvilleas, banana trees and houses in an extraordinary dark blue color.

Adding private museum of North African artifacts, later the French couturier Yves Saint-Luarent had taken well care of this garden. The gardens serve as a museum, and are open to the public for a normal entrance fee.

The Majorelle Garden is actually a botanical garden in Marrakech, Morocco. Although Majorelle's art is mostly forgotten today # his composition was made up of chivalrous orientalist watercolors. A special shade of bold cobalt blue which he used extensively in the garden and its buildings is named after him, Majorelle blue.

The garden hosts more than 15 bird species, which can be found only in the area of North Africa.
