Pont des Arts Bridge, Paris

In the most romantic city in the world, a love lock! There are few things better than this. The Pont des Arts, often referred to as the Pont des Arts Bridge, is a pedestrian bridge that spans the Seine in Paris. The tens of thousands of locks that dangle from this bridge are what make it renowned. People from all around the world have been hanging engraved locks on the bridge since 2008, and they subsequently toss the key into the river. The devotion of the pair is thought to be symbolized by the love lock. The love locks on the bridge are thought to weigh as much as 93 metric tons.

The love locks made the bridge so heavy in 2015 that the French government was forced to remove hundreds of them to prevent the bridge from collapsing. The Ponte des Arts Bridge was built from 1981 to 1984, when it was ultimately finished. Love lock hanging on the bridge was only begun in 2008 and is not a French custom. Unfortunately, the weight of the love locks caused the bridge to become so heavy that a portion of the parapet on the stunning bridge actually fell. The authorities were compelled to launch the "Love Without Locks" campaign as a result, which urged visitors to snap pictures on the bridge rather than hang love locks.
