(*) Jacques
Majorelle was a French painter, living in the golden age of
colonialism. He built this marvelous deep blue Villa with a huge garden
around it, and made it his residence because he suffered of
tuberculosis and needed a healthy climate to heal himself. After his
death the Villa and the Gardens were sold, and they are now the private
property of the French couturier Yves Saint-Laurent. The current owner
made a museum out of the Villa, displaying both Majorelle paintings and
Moroccan pieces of popular Arabian and Berber art (jewels, pottery,
glassware, wood carvings ...). The art pieces are very beautiful, but
unfortunately taking pictures was not allowed ... 
The Gardens are still well taken care of, and have a good variety of cactuses and other plants.
