A high wall and a single doorway in a sweltering and dusty side road in Marrakesh, colours washed out in the intense sun and well away from the hustle of Jemaa el-Fnaa leads to one of the hidden wonders of the city. A stunning and intense botanical garden, the vision of the French artist Jaques Majorelle, lush and luxuriant, rigidly laid out with rare plants from every continent and intersected by ornate paths and pools. In the centre an extraordinary block of colour glimpsed through the many shades of green. A cobalt blue so intense that once you have seen it, you will always describe it as Majorelle Blue.
