The Jardin Majorelle was created by the French painter Louis Majorelle, who lived in Marrakesh between 1922 and 1962. It has since passed into the hands of another Marrakesh lover, Yves Saint Laurent. If you've just come from the desert, it's a sight for sore eyes, with green-bamboo thickets, little streams, and an electric blue gazebo. There's also a villa housing a small Islamic art museum.
