The proper name of the bridge is the Pont Des Arts, but given the tourist tradition that was so commonplace until recently, this bridge was better known as Love Locks Bridge. A romantic destination, traveling couples made a tradition of putting a lock on the bridge to symbolize their love.

Romantic? Well, that’s a bit of an opinion, and the bridge had something to say about it. Under the weight of those millions of locks, the bridge began to suffer, and a portion of it collapsed in 2015. Authorities were forced to remove them, and no one could leave the locks on the bridge. Probably for the better, really.
