Ewan G.
I am a British artist and filmmaker based in Paris, where I have spent the past six years exploring the city's relationship with the avant-garde. My background is in the history and philosophy of art, with a focus on cinema and digital media—research I pursued at the University of Kent and during a residency at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. For me, Paris is more than a backdrop; it is a subject of constant study. When I am not filming or editing, I spend my time researching the hidden narratives of the city, from the haunts of the New Wave filmmakers to the radical ideas of the Situationists. My walks are informal but deeply informed conversations. We move away from the standard landmarks to look at how the city has been shaped by the thinkers, writers, and filmmakers who saw Paris as a living text. I don't just share history; I enjoy discussing how the city’s architecture and cultural heritage influence our perspective today. Whether we are exploring iconic film locations through a director's eye or tracing the "layers" of a neighborhood's memory, I offer a perspective that combines historical context with a filmmaker’s eye for detail. I look forward to sharing a different, deeper side of Paris with you.

I have been living and working in Paris for 15+ years. I love my city and love sharing its vibrant art scene with my guests. Originally, I studied Art and Philosophy at Concordia University, Montreal and received a Master 2 / Diplôme des Beaux-Arts de l'ESADHaR, Le Havre, France. As well as being a tour guide I am a practicing artist. I spent the first years of my life in Paris going to the museum every weekend to sketch the sculptures and paintings. I have over 10 years of experience working in the arts with artists, and galleries, as an artist and curator. I started out running an artist-run center and love making the experience of interacting with art accessible and fun. As a member of the art community, I am more than excited to share with you an insider's view of the Paris vibrant art scene. Let me show you how this city continues to inspire me every day. Don't hesitate to send me a message and tell me what kinda art you like! So, I can tailor the visit to your interest!

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name's Benjamin. I am honoured to show you my Mother's hometown of Aix en Provence! I speak English with a clear voice as I was born in the UK. My mother is French and I speak Spanish because I lived in Peru for 9 years. We have family records that date all the way back from 1875 and I share stories both personal and public stories on the tour. Beside guiding I am an English professor at the local university, a hobbyist historian and world traveler like you! Besides sharing my love for the city, I really enjoy meeting people and I hope I get a short chance to get to know you! I usually do my tours in English, but can translate to Spanish. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have a group and want to arrange a date for a spanish only tour, 'si, se puede' as they say. Furthermore, if you have any other questions I will answer them when you message me. Let me leave you with one of my favorite Emile Zola quotes: "Nothing develops intelligence like travel." See you on the tour! Benjamin

“Riding with Raphael”
Great experience from planning through completion. Raphael was pleasant, patient and professional during the planning phase. Our lodging locations changed 3 times and he was very accommodating. Once we met him, he was helpful and resourceful in situating our 4 mos old grandsons car seat and the folding stroller he travels in. We were provided blankets to insure we were warm and comfortable on this chilly December morning. He was very informative while traversing the city sights, extremely knowkedgable about what we were seeing and where we were traveling. Provided detailed answers, specific facts and humorous responses to our many questions. Though we had arrived 15 minutes later than we were supposed to have been, due to traffic, we were never made to felel rushed. He gave us the full two hours and dropped us off at a nearby restaurant for lunch. Would recommend this tour to those new to Paris. It's a great way to familiarize oneself with the city and its many attractions. By all means, request Raphael. He was excellent, friendly and an absolute pleasure to tour with.
