A Brief History of the Garden
The story of the Jardin Majorelle begins in 1923 with French orientalist artist Jacques Majorelle. Over nearly forty years, he poured his passion and resources into creating a breathtaking tropical garden, a living canvas filled with exotic plants from around the world. The most iconic feature, the intense cobalt blue he used extensively on buildings and fountains, became so famous it was named after him: Bleu Majorelle.
After Majorelle's death, the garden fell into disrepair. It was rediscovered in the 1980s by fashion legends Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, who were captivated by its neglected beauty. They purchased the property, meticulously restored it to its former glory, and preserved it as a public treasure.
How to Buy Majorelle Garden Tickets in 2026
Gone are the days of simply showing up and walking in. To manage crowds and preserve the tranquility of the garden, purchasing your Majorelle Garden tickets in advance is now practically mandatory.
Online Booking via the Official Website
The most reliable method is to book directly through the official Jardin Majorelle website. Select your date and time slot, choose the type of ticket (garden only, or combined with the museums), and pay by credit card. We recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons.
Combined Tickets for the Full Experience
The complex includes two world-class museums: the Berber Museum and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. We highly recommend the combined ticket to experience all three.
