About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: A sudden wall of intense cobalt blue cuts through lush greenery, where shaded paths, trickling pools and exotic birdcalls make the air feel cooler and oddly cinematic. More than 300 plant species, from towering cacti to delicate palms, are tucked into intimate corners, turning a compact plot into one of the most biodiverse micro-gardens you’ll find in an urban setting.
Κύρια σημεία: A surreal ultramarine villa and cobalt-blue fountains sit amid towering bamboo and sculptural cacti, the bright paint chosen by the original artist to make the lush greens pop and feel almost unreal. Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and partner Pierre Bergé bought the overgrown site in 1980 to stop developers, then funded a painstaking restoration and installed a small museum of Amazigh art inside the grounds.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening to beat mid-morning coach tours and get unobstructed photos.
- Bring a light scarf or hat, shade is limited in parts of the garden.
- Head to the central cobalt villa and reflecting pool for the iconic shot, then explore quieter side paths for different perspectives.
- Buy a timed-entry ticket online to avoid long lines and consider combining the visit with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum next door.
