Paris is deprived of romance: from the bridge of art remove the “locks of lovers”

One of the most romantic cities in the world, Paris, is being stripped of romance, but for good reason. For security reasons, the Pont des Arts bridge in the city center will remove numerous “lover’s castles”.

The mayor of the sixth Paris district Jean-Pierre Lecoc explained that due to the large number of castles, the parapet of the bridge began to settle. “Among couples in love, there are even those who hang their locks on others because of lack of space. This is getting crazy! One day it will end with the fence of the bridge with all the loving hearts fixed on it falling on the heads of tourists swimming below on a pleasure boat!

The tradition of hanging locks on bridges exists in lovers of many countries. In the same France, in Paris, parapets are hung with castles on the embankment of François Mitterrand and on the bridge of the Archdiocese near Notre-Dame-de-Paris.
