Paris

Be sure to see the odd, small Cernuschi Musée of Asian antiquities in a lovely, antique gated section of Paris. It's an actual old house and seems like one [but not as domestic as say the famous Gustav Moreau musée].

It has a great enormous Buddha on white character inscribed black lotus leaves and this lovely Cambodian-style statue [you must go to the main Asian museum [the Guimet] to see their huge Cambodian collection]--as of 2016 there is a nominal fee to get it, despite the websites saying it's 'free'. Though the collection is small, the area is lovely. And the dragon on the ground floor is exquisite.
