Registered on August 22, 2022

I am a filmmaker and artist based in Paris, and have been working as a tour guide since 2020. I was drawn to France and Paris for its rich cultural history, particularly in the domains of art, literature, and cinema. I came here in 2015 for a two-year post-masters in a prestigious art school in the north of France and have since completed another master's in the History and Philosophy of Art. As well as a passion for art I'm also fascinated by the rich and diverse history of the city and love to share all the unusual and surprising historical anecdotes that I've picked up to along the way.

Tour description

Welcome the mythic world Montmartre, an eclectic and historically legendary neighbourhood of Paris, a place that has always been a buzzing hive of creative activity and the dwelling place of some of the most influential artists of all time.

Over the years Montmatre has been a beacon to artists of every creed, but it also become famed for its nightlife, its cafes serving absinthe, its red light district, its 'bals' and cabaret halls, a place where 'anything goes', a place pushing the boundaries in all directions. 

We will see the magnificent Sacré Coeur, and wander through the quaint streets passed:

  • The Cabaret Patachou
  • Through Place de Tertre
  • Passing an old vineyard
  • The bust of Dilada
  • The 'Passe-Muraille'
  • La Moulin de la Galette
  • The Moulin Rouge
  • Le Chat Noir
  • Passed the dwelling places, of Picasso, Modigliani, Georges Braque, Suzanne Valadon, Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gough, and many, many more. 


Book a tour with me and soak up the rich artistic atmosphere and follow in the footsteps of the legends of Montmatre. You will be beguiled by the strange fascinating anecdotes from Montmatre history.

"A Delightful Montmartre Experience" I recently had the pleasure of joining Ewan's Montmartre tour with my daughter as our final instalment of Paris wonders, and I must say it was an absolute delight! Ewan's passion for the neighborhood and its rich artistic history shines through in every step of the tour. Highlights Engaging and Funny:Ewan's witty anecdotes and humorous storytelling kept us entertained throughout. He effortlessly weaved historical facts with amusing tidbits, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. Insightful: As an art enthusiast, I appreciated Ewan's in-depth knowledge of local artists, their lives, and their impact on Montmartre. His insights into Picasso, Van Gough , and other luminaries were fascinating. Hidden Gems: Ewan took us off the beaten path, revealing charming cafés, tucked-away studios, and lesser-known art studios. It felt like we were discovering secrets only locals knew. - **Recommendation:** Whether you're an art lover or simply curious about Montmartre's bohemian past, I wholeheartedly recommend Ewan's tour. It's a delightful blend of history, culture, and entertainment.

Euan was very knowledgeable. He gave especially detailed descriptions of art scene in Montmartre, and was clearly very knowledgable about French art in general. Nonetheless the tour was still light-hearted and fun, and we took a very nice route through the area. I would recommend this tour.
