Stepping through the gate of Majorelle Garden, the city noise slips away and a sharp cobalt appears—walls and villas painted a blue so deliberate it redirects the light. Water basins mirror palms; a line of cacti angles like a slow motion sketch. The garden moves at its own pace, plants and pools guiding visitors through shaded alleys toward the Berber Museum and the low-profile modernity of the Yves Saint Laurent Museum nearby.
