Please don’t do this any more. It’s killing Paris.

Hi Annette,

great content here as usual!

Let me just give an update on this subject if you don’t mind :-)

Actually, putting locks on bridges is seen here in Paris as a very rude and disrespectful tradition to the city.

People are no longer allowed to put “love locks” on the bridge since 2015, and the fences have been replaced with glass fences since then.

There are other lock-bridges in Paris but the city doesn’t want people to do that anymore as it became dangerous (fences with locks became as heavy as 20 elephants!) and is considered as vandalism, a degradation of the city architecture and heritage sites.

More explanations in the FAQ section of this article: https://travelcenter.io/firas/paris-most-beautiful-bridges

The city asks the tourists to find other romantic activities and souvenirs instead of putting locks in public places. Some of these new activities include for example a selfie in front of the Wall of Love near Montmartre, a stroll on La Seine during sunset, or a classy dinner at a classy restaurant.

In reply to Jenn. They have been removing all the love locks from the bridges, so I don't believe there are any anywhere in Paris.

I am going to be in Paris in August 2018 Where can I see a bridge that has locks on it? I looked online to find out but it looks like they have stopped this and took all the locks off bridges.

I have seen this bridge! Beautiful and quite romantic. Unfortunately I was there alone. MAYBE one day I can travel back there with a special someone!

I was in Paris for a few days. The photo of the bridge and architecture reminds how impressed I was.
