Le
Jardin
Secret
is
just
about
the
perfect
way
to
start
a
holiday
in
Marrakech,
we'd
arrived
very
late
the
night
before
so
wanted
something
undemanding
but
beautiful
and
this
really
fitted
the
bill.
We
were
staying
in
a
riad
just
off
the
Jemaa
Al
Fna
and
so
this
was
really
only
a
short
walk
to
get
there,
courtesy
of
Google
Maps
which
we
found
invaluable
for
negotiating
the
narrow
and
crowded
streets
of
the
Medina.
You
can
just
buy
tickets
for
the
garden
or
a
ticket
for
the
garden
and
the
tower
inside
the
garden,
which
is
what
I
bought.
The
gardens
are
a
delight.
We
had
seen
them
in
the
BBC
television
series
"Monty
Don's
Paradise
Gardens"
a
few
years
ago
and
thought
how
attractive
it
looked
in
its
classic
Islamic
garden
layout;
at
the
time
the
series
was
made
the
garden
had
been
freshly
renovated
but
now
it
has
matured
into
a
beautiful
and
relaxing
place
with
lots
of
shaded
areas
and
plenty
of
benches
where
you
may
sit
to
drink
it
all
in.
After
a
wander
round
enjoying
the
garden
we
went
up
onto
an
elevated
terrace
where
they
have
a
café
for
a
drink
and
the
opportunity
to
see
the
garden
from
a
different
perspective.
While
my
wife
lingered
over
her
refreshments
I
joined
the
tower
tour
with
a
charming
young
guide
who
took
our
group
up
the
steps
in
the
tower
and
explained
its
history
and
the
significance
its
decorations.
From
the
top
the
views
were
wonderful
and
we
could
see
the
snow
covered
Atlas
mountains
through
the
mist.
Then,
suddenly,
we
heard
the
call
to
prayer
started
from
one
of
the
mosques;
then
the
next
one
took
it
up,
then
the
next
and
so
on
in
order
from
West
to
East
across
the
city
and
it
was
beautiful
and
I
counted
over
twenty
minarets
in
view
from
our
vantage
point.
If
you
go
there
this
was
during
the
12h00
tour.
Back
down
in
the
garden
I
found
my
wife
and
took
some
photos
and
then,
on
the
way
out,
we
discovered
another
café
where
we
decided
might
be
a
good
place
to
have
lunch
and
this
proved
an
excellent
choice
as
the
food
was
delicious.
