Jardins Majorelle

After a Moroccan breakfast, on a beautiful sunny morning we went to Jardins Majorelle which is one of the twentieth century’s most mysterious gardens.

Jardins Majorelle is a place of rare individual expressions and mystical force. The garden is an overpowering abundance of vegetal shapes and forms representing five continents and reflects Jacques Majorell’s significance as one of the most important plant collectors of his times.

Yves Saint Laurent acquired and restored the property. He and his life partner Pierre Bergé established a foundation to ensure the continuing existence of the Gardens.”(from a Garden’s brochure)

Once in the garden the weather suddenly changed into bad and the lack of sunshine took away the colours of the photos.  

The storm, rain and hail stayed on until late at night. The temperature dropped down to 10° C.

It is warmer in Poland now!

    Jakiś czas temu widziałam biograficzny film o Yves Saint Laurencie gdzie m.in.
    pokazany był ten ogród. Niemniej Wasze zdjęcia są bardzo ciekawe, a kwitnące opuncje przypomniały mi mój pobyt w Algierii. Z niecierpliwością czekam na dalsze relacje.
