Villa Majorelle, Marrakech : In 1919, French painter Jacques Majorelle took up residence in the Medina (then a French protectorate) with which he fell in love. Fond of botany, he created a garden with a variety of different environments, planted with lush vegetation. The artist also created an ultramarine blue that was both bright & intense, known as 'Majorelle blue'. In 1980, Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint acquired the garden to save it from property developers. #ysl #marrakech #luxurytravel
