France has all the ingredients for a romantic getaway. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the smell of fresh baguettes and wine ... Hamsters.

Treat your special someone to a night of amour at the Hamster Villa in Nantes, France.

Guests dress up in rodent costumes and spend the night roaming the people-sized re-creation of a cozy hamster cage. Amenities include a human-sized hamster wheel, readily available grain for snacking, floor space for hamster dancing, and a hay bed for sleeping and, if all goes well, breeding.

Check out the Reuters video for a slightly disturbing walk-through of the hotel.
