    Paris removing 45 tons of locks

    Not eternal: Paris removes 'love locks' from famed bridge



    Loved-up visitors from around the world have for years written their names on padlocks to symbolise their passion, then tossed the key into the River Seine so that nothing could ever break the bond.

    Just go in the river, and find the keys. Duh!

    I'd imagine that the city will make a pretty penny on this!
