Architecture: Jardin Majorelle

Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962) was the son of the renowned Art Nouveau furniture designer Louis Majorelle. The Frenchman was a man of many talents and interests, but was best known as an Orientalist painter. Until, that is, he built the Jardin Majorelle, a labor of love 40 years in the making, and for which he is most widely recognized today. Here is the website, today a Berber museum.

The garden was restored by Yves Saint-Laurent.
