Parisian authorities decided to remove close to a million padlocks from the Pont des Arts. The famous bridge, also known as the \u201cLove Lock\u201d bridge, is an attraction where tourists write their names on a padlock and attach it to the bridge to symbolize their love.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">Love lost<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ban came after part of the bridge collapsed last year because of the weight of the padlocks. The collapsed parts were made of metallic grids, which are now going to be replaced with clear panels to prevent people from attaching padlocks again. This will also reduce the pollution in the river, as the tradition is to throw in the padlock key into the water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/BptGXIGCQAANe2n.jpg\" alt=\"BptGXIGCQAANe2n\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/BptGXIGCQAANe2n.jpg\">source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>{adinserter CNP5}<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">The death of a tradition?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many have expressed their worry over the new ban, saying that it would cause the death of a tradition that has now been around for more than a decade. Bruno Julliard, the city\u2019s deputy mayor, has offered a safer alternative, asking couples to attach ribbons to the railings instead. This would solve the problem of weight issues, and would definitely be more affordable than a padlock!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/original1.jpg\" alt=\"original1\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/original1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/original1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.k-mag.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/original1.jpg\">source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">Crimes of passion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Residents of the city have long been complaining about the padlock tradition because of the behaviors of illegal padlock vendors. Another often-mentioned problem is that of ugliness. Paris is supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and native Parisians consider the locks to be an ugly covering of a beautiful landmark. The Pont de l&#8217;Archeveche will also have locks removed from its grids. So lovers, you better get those ribbons ready!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/The-Pont-des-Arts-bridge-Lock-Bridge-April-2013-002-610x404.jpg\" alt=\"The-Pont-des-Arts-bridge-Lock-Bridge-April-2013-002-610x404\" width=\"700\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/The-Pont-des-Arts-bridge-Lock-Bridge-April-2013-002-610x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/The-Pont-des-Arts-bridge-Lock-Bridge-April-2013-002-610x404-453x300.jpg 453w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnnyjet.com\/2013\/05\/the-pont-des-arts-paris-love-lock-bridge\/the-pont-des-arts-bridge-lock-bridge-april-2013-002\/\">source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/the-most-underrated-vacation-spots-in-the-world\/\">SEE ALSO: The Most Underrated Vacation Spots in the World.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting June 1st 2015, couples will have to find a new way to express their<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[45,38],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>No More Love Locks In Paris.
