And now the locks are gone!
Yes, they are now gone. And I am somewhat happy about that, while also occasionally succumbing to the nostalgia of them. But since I love that bridge and am taking my granddaughter there this Fall, I would much prefer the bridge still be standing...*Chuckle*...the love locks craze went a little too far in Paris to my thinking. The last time I was there, the Pont de l'Archeveche at the end of the Ile de Citi was so overcrowded with them it was visually repulsive. And when we were coming up the stairs after visiting the Square du Vert-Galant, even the lamp posts were being inundated with the locks. Now this guy seems to have a sense of keeping the artistic and views available for all without the likely threat of the all too present Paris graffiti.
