The properties are definitely fitting to the grand lifestyle one would rightly associate them with. One of them, in Marrakech, once was the retreat of French painter Jacques Majorelle; Saint Laurent and Bergé bought it back in 1980. The mesmerising blue in a sea of greens is one of Morocco's must-sees for visitors who now get to explore its lush gardens. A visual experience with shades so vibrant it seems fitting they should have influenced such a master of colour and texture.

aaA colour was named after this very unique shade of blue, Majorelle blue

Another property, this one in Tangier, more recently came to attention when famous auctioneer Christies put it on the luxury property market a few months ago: Villa Mabrouka otherwise known as the Yves Saint Laurent Estate, with price upon request.
