Jardin Majorelle (Marrakech, Morocco)

The Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech is a beautiful artistic garden and studio turned small museum, with architectural cactus and palms setting off accent pieces painted in vibrant colors. It was the residence of French artist Jacques Majorelle from the 1920s to the 50s, abandoned but then taken up and lovingly restored by Yves St. Laurent. The primary color of the structures is a vivid cobalt known as Majorelle blue (an official Pantone color!), with accents in bright yellow, sea foam green, brick red, and mustard. It is a delight for the eyes.
