Jacques Majorelle is born in 1886 in Nancy (France). In 1919
he settles in Marrakech to continue his career of painter,
where he acquires a ground which was going to become the
Majorelle garden. Since 1947 he opens his garden's doors to
the public. Following a car accident, he returns to france,
where he dies in 1962. in 1980 Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint
Laurent repurchase the garden and restore it.
Contrasts, the colors, the light games seem go out of one of
the pictures of Jacques Majorelle. It was one of the more
important collectors of plants of his era, and this is in this
spirit than enlarges itself from day to day the flore of the
garden. Plants of the five continents are exposed in an
enchanting framework. This that was the workshop of Jacques
Majorelle, inspiration place and of contemplation, shelters
today the magnificent art collection Islamic of Pierre Bergé and
Yves Saint Laurent. The originality of these places lies in the
combination of a luxurious végétation and architectural
elements allying sobriété and traditional aesthetic Moroccan.
The power of the blue Majorelle participates in the freshness
impression and of quiétude.
