This was once a private villa built by French artist Jacques Majorelle, and later bought by French fashion master Yves Saint Laurent and lived here for several years. Now open to become a popular attraction in Marrakech, the garden is full of rare plants, surrounded by a blue villa, as well as the tombstone of Yves Saint Laurent and a small cafe. French artist Jacques Majorelle acquired a piece of land on the outskirts of Marrakech (now the new district of the city) in 1924, and then devoted almost his entire life experience to designing and building this garden, collecting various plants from all over the world to build a cactus garden , vine promenade, lotus pond, bamboo forest trail... It is said that there are more than 100 kinds of cactus alone. The garden is filled with the painter's favorite blue, and villas, vases, walls, pools, etc., all have this bright and pure blue. This blue was later called Majorelle blue. Until the painter died in a car accident in 1962, the garden was slowly abandoned. In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and his legendary gay partner Pierre Berge discovered the Majorelle garden in Marrakech and immediately bought the garden. For nearly 30 years, the master lived in the Majorelle garden every spring. On June 1, 2008, the costume master passed away. Pierre Berge scatters his ashes in the garden to fulfill the master's wish. Now the villa has been turned into a museum, and in a room behind the villa, Yves Saint Laurent's manuscripts are displayed.
