Livre Marrakech Flair - Assouline

Il a été dit que Marrakech éveille tous les sens. Que ce soit voir les carreaux de zellige complexes; sentir les diverses épices vendues dans les souks; entendre l'appel à la prière émaner des mosquées voisines; toucher le cuir souple utilisé pour fabriquer une paire de babouches (sandales en cuir); dégustant un tajine savoureux, Marrakech ne manque jamais d'exciter. Située juste à l'ouest des montagnes de l'Atlas, la ville est habitée par des agriculteurs berbères depuis des siècles. Elle a été surnommée la «ville ocre» en raison de la prolifération des bâtiments en grès rouge et des murs rouges de la ville, qui entourent désormais la médina, qui abrite Jemaa el-Fnaa, l'une des places les plus fréquentées d'Afrique.

Marrakech regorge de culture et inspire les visiteurs depuis des décennies. D'Yves Saint Laurent à Talitha Getty, de Winston Churchill à Mick Jagger, Marrakech a attiré de grandes icônes inspirées par son esprit éternel ainsi que par sa douce et belle vie. La relation intime d’Yves Saint Laurent avec cette ville a conduit à l’ouverture d’un musée dédié à son œuvre légendaire. Le Festival international du film de Marrakech, annuel, attire une foule importante. Les musées abondent, présentant des arts marocains, des photographies, des tapis et l'esthétique du design andalou qui imprègne l'architecture de la ville. L'hôtel La Mamounia, ouvert en 1923, offre une histoire riche, qui comprend l'hébergement de clients tels que Winston Churchill. El Fenn de Vanessa Branson est une collection de riads traditionnels qui forment un superbe hôtel de caractère. Il existe d'innombrables façons de s'immerger dans la culture de Marrakech, mais le meilleur endroit pour commencer est peut-être avec un simple verre de thé à la menthe.

It has been said that Marrakech awakens all of the senses. Whether it is seeing the intricate zellige tilework; smelling the various spices sold at the souks; hearing the call to prayer emanate from the nearby mosques; touching the supple leather used to make a pair of babouches (leather sandals); tasting a flavorful tagine, Marrakech never fails to excite. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the city has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. It has been dubbed the “Ochre City” because of the proliferation of red sandstone buildings and the red city walls, which now enclose the Medina, home to Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa.

Marrakech overflows with culture and has been inspiring visitors for decades. From Yves Saint Laurent to Talitha Getty, Winston Churchill to Mick Jagger, Marrakech has attracted great icons inspired by its eternal spirit as well as its sweet, beautiful life. Yves Saint Laurent’s intimate relationship to this city lead to the opening of a museum dedicated to his legendary work. The annual Marrakech International Film Festival draws a prominent crowd.

La Mamounia hotel, opened in 1923, offers a storied history, which includes hosting guests such as Winston Churchill. Vanessa Branson’s El Fenn is a collection of traditional riads that form a stunning boutique hotel. There are countless ways to be immersed in the culture of Marrakech, but perhaps the best place to start is with a simple glass of mint tea.
