Paris' Famous Love Bridge Unlocks All The "Happily Ever Afters In Her Custody" As Government Takes Out All The Locks

"It's the end of the padlocks," deputy Paris mayor Bruno Julliard said in a statement.

"They spoil the aesthetics of the bridge, are structurally bad for it and can cause accidents," he added, noting that at least one section of railing had already collapsed under the weight in a potential risk to shipping on the River Seine below.



He said the existing railings would be initially replaced with panels covered in street art and later this year by plexiglass.

So does this mean all the love bonds are terminated? Will this affect their love? I just wonder.

A couple of tourists from Washington DC turned up unaware of the padlock ban.

"We came with the idea of putting a lock but we found out it's closed and illegal now - so we are just going to put it here at the very end of the bridge so no one can see," Cathy Hominage told Reuters TV.
