Paris will say goodbye to  the Pont des Arts loved by couples worldwide. On Monday 1 June, the padlocks which represent a love pledge will all be removed. One of the barriers had collapsed.  After almost a million couples have declared their love by plaing padlocks on the bridge, 54 tons of metal threaten to sink the deck.

The mayor of Paris has found a solution: the Plexiglas panels will be installed this fall, but as of Monday 1 June, the bridge will be closed for a week to remove the padlock.. Artists will display their work this summer.
