Make the most of your stay at Riad Hermès to visit the iconic Jardin Majorelle, a place of exceptional beauty in the heart of Marrakech. A true botanical paradise, this garden is a must for lovers of nature, art and tranquillity.
The fascinating history of the Jardin Majorelle
Created in the 1920s by the French artist Jacques Majorelle, then rescued and restored by the celebrated couturier Yves Saint Laurent in the 1980s, the Jardin Majorelle elegantly combines history, art and botany. Its intense cobalt blue, known as “Majorelle Blue”, has become famous the world over.
What is there to discover at the Jardin Majorelle?
In this lush green haven, admire more than 300 plant species from five continents, from impressive cacti to majestic palms, not forgetting the soothing bamboo. Don’t miss the Berber museum either, housed in Jacques Majorelle’s former studio, where unique collections of Berber art and craftsmanship are on display.
Practical tips for a successful visit
To make the most of the Jardin Majorelle, we recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace and quiet of the garden. Remember to bring your camera to capture the stunning colour contrasts.
