Day 10: Jardin Majorelle

After visiting the Pavillion de la Menara, we next headed to Jardin Majorelle which is one of the top attractions in Marrakech.   It was originally created by the French painter Louis Majorelle who lived in Marrakech between 1922 and 1962.  It then passed into the hands of another Marrakech lover, the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

It is a beautiful place that is covered with green bamboo thickets, little streams, brightly colored clay pots, and an electric blue gazebo.
