Paint them at The Ramparts
The wall that gives the city its name and its colour. Simple, wide, unmistakably Marrakech.
One wall, one palm, one animal. The simplest thing we make, and often the one people frame largest.

The place
Why The Ramparts
Nineteen kilometres of rammed red earth, mixed with lime and straw and raised in a single year. The colour of the wall is the reason the city is called red.
The scene: Nineteen kilometres of pisé wall going amber at sunset, a bicycle leaning, one palm.
Same quarter, different light
