Love-Locks on the Pont des Arts Bridge

Have you read any of the stories about the love locks on Paris bridges?  I know I have seen several pictures of this concept over this last year. 

NOT ONE explained what was going on properly!

Of course, I imagined that a section of fencing was covered in locks.

I did have a feeling some of the locks would be interesting.

Some of the couples got their locks engraved....

And a few couples must have believed that bigger was better.

So I did expect to see this.

What I did not expect was to see locks on the ENTIRE bridge. 

Both sides, spanning the entire river!

People really want to leave proof of their love in Paris. 

So sad I did not bring a lock. 

Next year, I'll be prepared and I'll be curious to see if there is even an inch of bridge left to hang it.
