JARDIN MAJORELLE,

This garden was built by the painter Jacques Majorelle and therefore, he created it as he would create a work of art.

In the 1980s the legendary couturier Yves Saint-Laurent acquired it and increased the number of plant species to more than 300.

And finally the DJEMAA EL FNA SQUARE, which is the central square of Marrakech and the most important place in the medina. It is where the public life of Marrakech takes place both day and night. The best thing about DJemaa el Fna Square is the transformation it undergoes in the course of the day.
