Walking through Gueliz.

The “other” Marrakech, often set in opposition to the medina, and yet only minutes away.

This was my neighbourhood.

The house I once lived in is now a five-storey building, with a Mexican restaurant on the ground floor. I still carry the keys to that vanished house. Keys that no longer open anything.

This abandoned Hôtel des Voyageurs remains, empty and left behind — but for how long? So many of us quietly mourn the disappearance of this older architecture, those elegant façades and modest homes replaced, one by one, by taller buildings rising without memory.
Every time I return, I walk the same streets I once walked hundreds of times. I move through them as if walking through my own past, revisiting it, measuring what has changed, and noticing what still stands.

Has anyone ever stepped inside that hotel?

I regret that I never did. And yet. Even here, in what we call the “modern” part of the city, men still push fruit carts through the streets, balancing pyramids of strawberries or nuts the way they always have. Gueliz carries traces of the medina.

And the medina, at times, begins to resemble something else entirely.
The opposition is never that simple.

A city is not a fixed image. It shifts, absorbs, reinvents itself : sometimes clumsily, sometimes beautifully.
For better and for worse.

Nostalgia is inevitable when you’ve loved a place long enough.
But movement is part of its truth.

For those who recently joined : welcome!
So many of you arrived over the past two weeks. I`m genuinely happy you’re here.
I’m Virginie. A Paris-born photographer, working between travel and lifestyle, drawn to the Mediterranean light and the quiet stories that live inside places.
I photograph hotels, interiors, designers, portraits — but what truly interests me is how people inhabit space. The gestures. The texture. The atmosphere that cannot be staged.
Sometimes I’m only behind the camera. Sometimes I step into styling or artistic direction. I care about coherence, about mood, about the narrative that an image can hold.
Paris is home.
Marrakech has been a life chapter, and still is.
Sicily, Greece, Morocco… I tend to orbit around the same sea.
Right now I’m also working on a book project about Marrakech : a long reflection on belonging, memory, and what time does to our sense of place.
This space gathers all of that.
Professional work. Personal explorations. The cities that shape me.

If you’re new here, I’m glad you found your way.

Every room should sing: this one brought a full orchestra
Somewhere between Jaipur and Jemaa El Fna @momo_jemaa_el_fna decided subtlety was overrated.
And honestly? It works.

I saw this place rise from the earth.
Stone by stone, on this magical hill overlooking the Ourika Valley @kasbahbabourika
Today, the Atlas mountains stand opposite, dusted in snow. The light still moves the same way across the terraces, the wind still carries that familiar silence.
Coming back here always feels layered.
Not just because of the landscape, but because of the beautiful souls who give it warmth and meaning.
Some places grow with you and this is one of them.
