RIAD CLAIRE FONTAINE

The whole architectural structure is based on the symbolism of the number 7, and on the search for spiritual metaphors of “squaring the circle”, it thus seems to serenely embrace whoever enters the Riad.
Marrakech is a city protected by 7 saints, buried in various quarters of the old Medina, still today a place of pilgrimage for the faithful for whom the number 7 signifies perfection.
The courtyard of the Riad is circular, a characteristic almost unique to Marrakech, and rests on a supporting structure of 7 columns and 7 arches finely chiseled by the incredible local master craftsmen.
At the center of the patio is a star-shaped fountain with 7 branches, each of which joins a column to form on the ground the figure of sacred geometry related to the universe. The fountain, lead sculpture, represents according to my imagination, the heroine of the song “Dans l’eau de la Claire Fontaine”.
On the ground floor is a large living room with fireplace, a small living room with television and a reading corner with an international library. The dining room, adjoining the living room, will welcome you during the rare moments when you cannot enjoy the terrace on the second floor.
Finally, the magnificent terrace of around 300 m²! It is no coincidence that this place, in all the houses in Morocco, is the one where you spend most of your time, in total relaxation, with the added bonus of a 360° view of the whole Medina!
It is equipped with every comfort (kitchen, bar, shower, WC, tables, sun loungers). You can enjoy breakfast there, sunbathe, enjoy a drink in front of breathtaking twilights, or dine by candlelight, all in the luxuriant setting of the vegetation of this country which never ceases to bloom. and offers unique colors and scents year-round.
