If you can't make it all the way to Asia for a romantic getaway, you will be able to satisfy your thirst for Asian art and culture in the musee Guimet, one of the finest Asian art museums in the world. You can also participate in or observe Japanese tea ceremonies, traditional Indian dancing, and Tibetan calligraphy. The museum is free the first Sunday of every month. Walk outside and you have a superb view of the Eiffel Tower and the left bank.
