Newest Review: ... his horticultural creation. After his death the gardens were closed and it was not until 1980 that the property was bought by the late Yves St Laurent and his partner (first romantically, then business-wise) Pierre Bergé. Between them they set about restoring the gardens to Majorelle's original glory and in the process made them one of the most famous and visited attractions in north west Africa.
