The tradition is this. The couple declare their love, lock it up in a sense by affixing a lock atop a bridge and throwing the keys into the river!
Whatever happens to their love is upto anybody’s guess. It sure does leave a heavy bridge that is full of locks. Locks of all shapes, sizes and even numbered combinations!
I first wrote about it here : https://www.kaviarasu.com/2015/04/locks-of-love/
Locks of love. Lots of them in romantic Paris!

How much of France can one picture hold.
Well, quite a bit. The Eiffel Tower, the French national flag and the River Sienne in one picture.
It’s not as though this is a rare picture. It’s just another picture that packs a lot of France into it.

Have you played this game called ‘statue’? Where you call out “STATUE” and the other person freezes over.
After 10 seconds you get fidgety. You become present to the itch at the wrong place. Or the right place for that matter. And the STATUE breaks.
For a moment I thought of the game. As we walked down Champs Elysee in Paris and saw this.
How apart we are yet how similar was obvious.
