Did You Know?
Fashion Icon's Retreat
The Jardin Majorelle was once owned by the famous French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé. They bought it in 1980 to preserve it and prevent it from being developed into a hotel complex.
Signature Blue
The garden is famous for its intense, vibrant 'Majorelle Blue' color, a specific shade of cobalt blue that Jacques Majorelle, the original owner, used extensively on the buildings, pots, and fountains throughout the garden.
Architectural Style
Beyond the lush greenery, the garden's structures, including the artist's studio, exhibit a distinct Art Deco architectural style, characterized by geometric patterns and bold lines, which contrasts beautifully with the organic forms of the plants.
Hectares of Beauty
The garden spans approximately 2.5 acres (or about 2.5 hectares), a significant size that allows for a diverse collection of plants and serene pathways for visitors to explore.
