Musée Yves Saint Laurent x Jardin Majorelle

The richness of a museum.

This museum is insane. Please excuse the term, which isn't at all appropriate for such a magnificent visit, but I had to let it out.

This Saturday, November 4, 2017, I had the opportunity to visit the YSL museum, and then the fabulous Majorelle Garden, in the company of my friend Elena. Once we arrived, we paid our entrance fees of 130 MAD (Moroccan Dirham). The rate for foreign students like us is 65 MAD, which includes a free guide to make our visit more enjoyable.

Inside, we were welcomed by a magnificent exhibition photographed in 1992 by André Rau for ELLE Magazine. We discovered 30 years of the fashion house in Marrakech, featuring YSL's muse, the famous actress Catherine Deneuve.

The visit started well, and afterwards we headed to the Yves Saint Laurent room, the very one that caught my attention. Everything is there: the work of a lifetime, unique pieces are on display. The creations are infinitely beautiful, all worthy of a great couturier. Projections of his fashion shows are also presented there. We were immersed in the world of Yves Saint Laurent, full of charm and magic. For the record, we had the opportunity to leave our mark in a guestbook that was available to us.

A lush garden.

After this unforgettable visit, we headed to the Majorelle Garden, which is a stone's throw from the museum. I would like to point out that the ticket we purchased also allowed us to visit this beautiful garden. Once inside, one immediately notices a small fountain right at the entrance, introducing our initiation into the discovery of this magnificent jewel.

Walking along these magnificent paths, we admired, with dazzled eyes, the immense cacti whose grandeur and eloquence could be felt both up close and from afar.

Right in front of us, several paths led us to different contours and areas, surrounded by water features and wildly beautiful aquatic plants, all intertwined with one another.

Shortly after, a small colorful house caught our attention. The walls, full of young and warm colors, embellished by vines and blooming flowers, brought us a certain freshness to conclude in prettiness and good fragrance a pleasant visit into the universe of our very dear Yves Saint Laurent.

See you soon for a new discovery.
