Jardin Majorelle review: our verdict
It bears the name of both a painter and a colour: Majorelle Blue, an intense cobalt, covers the Art Deco villa and the pottery of the garden that Jacques Majorelle designed from 1922. Against this blue stand out cacti and succulents brought from all corners of the world, across 9,000 m² that Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé acquired in 1980.
The tour follows a marked route, and the guards remind those who stray from the paths. Even in the height of summer, the canopy keeps the garden surprisingly cool, and the paths are easy to navigate with a pram or wheelchair. The small Berber museum is worth the visit on its own: its jewellery room plunges the adornments into a desert starry night. For those who love plants, photography, or fashion. Not for those dreaming of a large park to wander for hours: the walk is short, very crowded, and the entrance to the garden alone cost around 180 DH (17 €) in January 2026.
The best time slot: 8 am, at opening, before the crowds fill the paths. The pitfall: arriving without an online ticket. The good tip: the combined ticket with the Yves Saint Laurent museum, which gives substance to what would otherwise be a quick visit.
