Here visitors will find an extreme tranquility, after having passed through the bustle of the streets of the Medina.

As a curiosity, today we often speak of the color “bleu Majorelle” in honor of the blue used in most of the walls, walls and details of the garden. In the 1980s, the legendary couturier Yves Saint-Laurent acquired it and increased the number of plant species to more than 300. It became his favorite corner, whose ashes he wanted to be scattered among bamboos and water lilies.
