The writings of the famous painter are contrasted with the book by a Moroccan writer, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Lettre à Delacroix (2005).The aim of the paper is to define the art of living à la marocaine according to the French painter and the Moroccan writer. It is done in three parts. The first one is devoted to the beauty of Moroccan landscapes, horses and architecture. The second focuses on the art of dressing: the beauty of the inhabitants of the country and the elegance of their cloths.
