Friday

Fun time last night when we got involved in Nicola's 40th Birthday celebrations

Today we visited the Jardin Majorelle
The artist Jacques Majorelle purchased a palm grove outside the city around 1920, built a studio there and began creating the garden

After his death it was abandoned and fell into disrepair
But was purchased by Pierre Berge and Ives Saint Laurent in 1980

Since then the gardens have been restored

A beautiful cool tranquil place

The studio has been converted into a museum of Berber cultfure
 

And there is a memorial to Yves Saint Laurent
