Subscribe to our channel - Since late 2008, tourists have taken to attaching padlocks (love locks) with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing or the grate on the side of the Pont des Arts bridge, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, as a romantic gesture. This gesture is said to represent a couple's committed love.
Since the end of 2008, with locks occasionally being cut off by city workers, since 2012 the number of locks covering the bridge has become overwhelming, with locks being attached upon other locks.
The City of Paris has now removed all the padlocks. See the way it was.
