love locks
Romantic bridge souvenirs
Love locks are padlocks that couples attach to bridges, fences, or other public structures as symbols of their commitment, often inscribing their names or initials before throwing away the key.
The practice became a global phenomenon in the early 2000s, though many cities have removed them due to weight concerns and aesthetic objections.
The Pont des Arts was once covered in love locks.
