Wood panels were installed on the Paris Pont des Arts bridge over the Seine river, to stop the tourists attaching " lovelocks" on the railings, have been scrawled with tags and graffitis. Thousands of 'locks of love' attached to the footbridge caused part of the railing to collapse and temporarily replaced by a wooden board, forcing an evacuation In recent years Le Pont Des Arts has attracted tourists who visit the bridge to attach padlocks or cadenas d'amour to the railing or the gate with their names written or engraved on the padlock, and then throw the key into the river Seine as a romantic gesture. The accumulation of the 'love locks', a phenomenon popular in many European cities is starting to pose safety concerns, due to their mass weight, Paris-France, 01/02/2015
