Benchaabane was responsible for the restoration of the Majorelle Gardens at the request of Yves Saint Laurent in 1998, and the garden designs here clearly reflect his passion for creating beautiful natural spaces.

"Stretching out behind the Koutoubia Mosque, this palm-tree-dotted swath of greenery is a Marrakshi favourite spot for strolling, relaxing on park benches and generally taking a quiet break."
