Thanks Jessica!
[blockquote] Pont des Arts has a rich history, which you can read about here and has been featured in many movies and TV shows over the years. It is a bridge for lovers, and tourists have started attaching padlocks (inscribed with their names) to the bridge and throwing the keys into the river as a sign of their everlasting love. I don’t normally condone throwing things into local waterways, and it is such a ‘touristy’ thing to do but we did join in with the hopes that we can come back and visit our lock in years to come. I ordered an engraved lock ahead of time from MakeLoveLocks.com, but often you’ll find people selling them around the bridges.[/blockquote]
