Pont d'Archevêché

Have you ever heard of a love padlock? Well, hundreds of other people have, and they have all participated in this activity as a way to symbolize their love! This Parisien bridge (known as Pont d'Arche) is covered in locks, which means that the Seine is probably filled with keys, then! Let me explain: the tradition goes that you write your name with that of your significant other's on a lock, lock it onto the bridge, and then toss the key into the Seine River. Cheesy, maybe, but it's too cute not to pass up. People from all over the world have locks on the bridge- it's like a universal sign of love.

So of course, I just had to follow the tradition, what else did you expect? When in Paris...
