moroccan wood & wool

In the middle of the souk suddenly appeared a wool heaven!
I chose a few of my favorite colors to take home.

The neon pink and orange brought a color explosion on the riad balcony.

le jardin - green oasis in the souk

le jardin - green oasis in the souk

Strolling through the souk, we were surprised by the fresh and elegant restaurant Le Jardin.

The young and charming owner Kamal Laftimi recently opened his third hotspot in the souk, after 'café des éspices' and 'terrasse des éspices'
Le Jardin is a green oasis in the souk. The interior is decorated by Anne Favier and the use of all shades of green is exciting.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch.
Kamal was riding on his bike through the courtyard and came to our table for a cozy chat.
The charismatic young man who grew up in Marrakech has the guts to start something else in the souk.

Côté Sud magazine was present at that moment for a photo shoot and we also did our petit photo shoot. The roof terrace has a wonderful view on the yard and beautiful murals. There are straw hats with crochet (talking about professional deformation) for everyone, in case the sun gets too hot.

How can you choose?
I have brought a whole bunch of colored scrubs from the Souk.
A lovely souvenir for home and friends.

Palais de la Bahia is located in the south of the old city of Marrakech.

The beautiful palace of the end of the 19th century has a splendid interior.

You find yourself in a Moorish fairytale. Inside the palace there are about 160 rooms with tile floors in beautiful patterns and some lovely patios.

The garden was a location for some film scenes of Lawrence of Arabia.
