Later,Ifrane served as an administrative town for the French govemment.The French were attracted to Ifrane for its cool climate during the summer.They turned the town into an ideal settlement for European families-it was designed to make its foreign inhabitants(居民)feel at home.Therefore,the architectural style and even the trees and flowering plants were imported from Europe.
When Morocco gained independence,the locals moved into Ifrane,filling it with a bit of their own culture.They enlarged the town,built a public market,and added other facilities.The famous Al Akhawayn University was founded in Ifrane in the mid-1990s.Many of the old wooden houses have been torn down and replaced with apartments.Still,there are plenty of red roofs dotting the town's scenery.
