  Church of Notre Dame of Lourdes

  Step inside one of Casablanca's most surprising architectural gems — the Notre-Dame de Lourdes Church, a modernist masterpiece hidden in plain sight. Built in 1954, this striking concrete church is home to one of the most spectacular stained glass installations in North Africa: 800 square meters of vivid, story-filled windows by the legendary artist Gabriel Loire. As sunlight pours through the colored glass, the entire interior transforms into a living canvas of light. We'll explore the dramatic concrete vaults, the soaring clerestory windows, and the intimate courtyard shrine, while learning how this active Catholic parish stands as a symbol of Morocco's enduring tradition of interfaith respect.

Together we'll explore the arcades, meet the vendors, and learn the stories behind Morocco's essential ingredients — from Dakhla oysters to rare saffron and argan oil. Then comes the best part: we'll select our own fresh catch and have it cooked right here in the market, enjoying an authentic boat-to-table lunch surrounded by the energy and warmth of Casablanca's culinary culture. Whether you're a passionate foodie, a curious photographer, or a traveler seeking the real Morocco beyond the guidebooks, this experience delivers flavor, history, and connection in every bite.

  Step back to the birth of modern Casablanca at the historic Hôtel Excelsior, a stunning Neo-Moorish landmark built in 1914 by architect Hippolyte Delaporte. Standing proudly on United Nations Square, this four-storey masterpiece was once the city's most prestigious address — the place where businessmen, speculators, and colonial officials gathered to shape Casablanca's future. Together we'll examine its horseshoe windows, geometric railings, and iconic green-tiled roof, learning how this building helped transform a rough and unrefined port town into one of Africa's great cities. We'll explore its role in the city's social and economic life, and place it within the broader story of Casablanca's colonial architecture. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about the layers of story hidden in plain sight, the Excelsior offers a window into a pivotal moment in the city's past.
