| Love locks on the bridge. |
On a few bridges in Paris it is a common thing to hook a lock onto on of the metal rods on the fence on the bridge.
This lock represents the love you share with your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend (in French you say "petit ami" = little friend).
The tradition is that after you attach your lock to the bridge, you throw the key over the railing into the Seine to represent your eternal love.
Most people scratch or engrave their names onto their lock. Some people tie a tissue or a rubber band or anything that they feel like because they don't have a lock (or maybe their relationship isn't quite so eternal?).
