Last but not least: crushing gestures of love
The weight of love locks is putting a strain on Paris's bridges. The first sections of railing have already collapsed. Now the city is taking action to address this serious problem.
The fact that countless tourists attach their love locks to the bridge railings is slowly but surely becoming a problem for the city of love. The falling locks and bridge parts are a danger, especially for the tourists themselves, who are often on excursion boats on the Seine.
The city council therefore wants to offer couples in love a substitute with the "love without locks" campaign - on the internet, where they won't disturb anyone. Posters at tourist sites along the Seine invite lovers to post a selfie with the hashtag #lovewithoutlocks on Instagram or Twitter instead. Is this alternative attractive enough? (sis)
