It used to be that only couples would leave a "lock of love" on a bridge (then throw the key in the river to seal the deal). The practice seems to have expanded: This family left a memory for the whole clan. The orange locks and pictures stood out . . .
no small feat, considering how many thousands of locks there are lining both sides of the pont de l'Archevêché!
What started out cute has turned major ugly, in my opinion. Off with the locks, say I. I think Paris could create some sort of 'sculpture' somewhere, where people could fasten their locks...
Locks of LOVE!
