French term or phrase: panama
secret pour les Marrakchis en quête de verdure et d’authenticité. En marge des palaces qui
chaque année poussent dans la palmeraie, conjuguant luxe et volupté, le Beldi reste fidèle à
sa recette d’un Maroc beldi et bon enfant. Des treilles, des artisans et des panamas : ne
cherchez pas ici au fil du douar un luxe ostentatoire, la maison tient à maintenir un accueil
« cool », authentique et spontané.

neutral  writeaway: possibly or even probably but not 100% sure. Strange to connect it to Morocco, no?

neutral  Carol Gullidge: well, this is a good description of panama hats - I should know as this was part of my summer school uniform! But it does seem odd to give them a special mention here - almost like one of the tourist attractions.

neutral  B D Finch: While I did once wear a Panama hat while trekking in Morocco, I didn't notice anyone else wearing one.

agree  Hilary McGrath: The "luxe et volupté" points towards Matisse. One of his paintings was: Pontoise, Musée Tavet-Delacour Autoportrait au chapeau de Panama, 1945, plume et encre de Chine sur papier, 40,2 x 26 cm, from http://www.musee-matisse-nice.org/expositions/en_france_

agree  Ben Gaia: Made me think of Gide. Famous writers in Morocco, bohemian tourists, etc, "Panama hats" evoke a "zeitgeist". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gide_1920_cropped.jpg. and https://www.eldredgrove.com/2016/06/next-menswear-in-marrake...
