Majorelle Garden
This 10,000-square-meter botanical garden was created by French painter Jacques Majorelle starting in 1923. Visitors go here to see a diverse collection of plants and a Cubist-style villa built in the 1930s. The site is characterized by its specific shade of cobalt blue used on the architecture.
