Arabic term or phrase: beldi
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.

Explanation:
I would recommend using the term ‘beldi’ first because it is a uniquely Moroccan word that if the reader visit Morocco they will see it written everywhere! However it is Arabic, not French!

"Beldi is a Moroccan word meaning traditional, rural and natural. It conveys the sense of purity and authenticity we love about Morocco. Beldi Rugs are handcrafted from the wool of a special breed of sheep that roams Morocco's rugged Middle Atlas Mountains, historic home of the Berbers"
