YOU LOVE IS TOO HEAVY

The Pont des Arts in Paris is known to lovers from around the world, here they seal their love by attaching a lock with their names written on it to its railing and throwing the key deep into the Seine River. But on Sunday evening this iconic tourist attraction known to the world as the “locks of love”  made the news as police was forced to evacuate visitors off the bridge after 2.4 meters of railing collapse. The police said “the bridge was immediately evacuated and closed and would be reopen by Monday”. A petition has started asking the locks to be removed saying that they caused damages to the bridge. The “locks of love” craze are also found in other cities around the world like in the Seoul Tower, Ponte Milvio in Rome, Prague, Donestk and Cologne.
