Strolled the Seine today. My mission was to see the love locks on the bridges, started here about 2008. A mistaken belief is that they are a longstanding tradition of Paris, but they originated about 100 years ago in a Serbian tale. They present a great controversy, because their added weight caused a partial collapse of the parapet of Pond Des Arts. There is great concern about preserving the historic bridges.
