Jardin Majorelle – Marrakech, Morocco
As perhaps the most photographed, and certainly the bluest, garden in the world, Jardin Majorelle is a botanical fantasia lovingly crafted over four decades by French painter Jacques Majorelle. His chosen shade – bleu Majorelle – is now trademarked: a vivid cobalt that dazzles against the greenery. Meandering paths take you past towering cacti, shade palms and cascading bougainvillaea. The gardens are well-known for being a great source of sanctuary and inspiration for both Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, whose ashes were scattered here.
