Thousands of couples who believe that Paris is for lovers have demonstrated their commitments with padlocks on the Pont des Arts and other bridges and then, usually while kissing, toss the key into the Seine. Some view this as very romantic while others consider it an eyesore. I think the photo would make a great jigsaw puzzle. This timeless expression of love only costs five or ten euros. But, just as all love does not last forever, your padlock will probably be gone when you return to Paris because the bridge panels are frequently replaced.
