Saint Laurent took a lot of inspiration from Marrakesh and would return there often, even playing host to famous friends from around the world like Andy Warhol. Courtesy of Morocco Sotheby’s International Realty "Marrakech taught me colour," Saint Laurent once said, according to Sotheby's. "Before Marrakech everything was black." The villa is currently listed for $3.9 million, according to the New York Post. Courtesy of Morocco Sotheby’s International Realty Travelers who head to Morocco can also visit the Jardin Majorelle, which features a "labyrinth" of alleyways as well as bright blue buildings with both Art Deco and Moorish influences. Travelers can stop into the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts on the property. Both the garden and the museum are open seven days a week. Alison Fox is a contributing writer for Travel + Leisure.
