Existence of a function continuous everywhere and nowhere differentialable
$begingroup$
We know there exists some functions, such that Weierstrass one, that are continuous everywhere on $[0 ; 1]$ and nowhere differentiable. Their expression (and a little bit of work) would yield a proof.
However, I was wondering if we can just prove the existence of such a function, without finding it.
I searched on the web and found nothing. Would some of you have a reference or a proof?
Thanks in advance!

It's been a while, but I think this is a case where Baire category theorems come into play.

There is an example using the Baire Category Theorem in "A Primer of Real Functions" by Ralph Boas.
