It’s been a longtime tradition for lovers to\u00a0attach locks or “love locks” to Paris bridges\u00a0to signify their love.<\/p>\n
However, city officials began\u00a0to remove some\u00a0locks from the\u00a0Pont des Arts bridge because parts of the fence\u00a0began to crumble<\/a> under\u00a0the weight of the locks.<\/p>\n Don’t fret, though. You will soon be able to purchase\u00a0the locks for a good cause as\u00a0the city is set to\u00a0sell the locks and donate the proceeds to refugee groups next year.<\/p>\n Bruno Julliard, first deputy mayor of Paris, told the Guardian<\/a> that the sales are projected to raise over $107,000, and leftover locks will be melted down and sold as scrap metal.<\/p>\n @NoLoveLocks<\/a> How can we buy them? would love to get some.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jenee Andreacola (@likeidreamof28) December 6, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
