La Villa Majorelle [06:42]
C'est en 1931 que le peintre Jacques Majorelle fit construire par l'architecte Paul Sinoir cette magnifique villa de style mauresque et Art déco au Maroc, à Marrakech. Amoureux des plantes, l'homme élabora au fil du temps un véritable jardin botanique, bordée par une cocoteraie et une palmeraie. La Villa fut rachetée en 1980 par Yves Saint-Laurent et Pierre Bergé, qui entreprirent la rénovation de la demeure et doublèrent la surface des jardins. Les deux hommes conservèrent la partie habitation pour leur usage privé et transformèrent l'atelier en Musée de l'Art islamique, ouvert aux touristes.

Plant lover, the man worked out over time a botanical garden, surrounded by coconut plantation and a palm grove. The Villa was bought in 1980 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, who undertook the renovation of the house and doubled the surface of the gardens. The two men kept the living quarters for private use and the workshop turned into a Museum of Islamic Art, open to tourists.
