lock up your love

Friday, July 4, 2014





The idea is to convey love for eternity – usually by two lovers who engrave or write their initials or names on a padlock, attach it to a bridge and throw the key into the water below. The Pont d’Art, the Pont de l’Archevêché and several other bridges which have railings are home to thousands of padlocks and even families are now declaring their love for their children, grandchildren or parents in this way. 
If you have any locks in your home, garage etc.why not follow tradition?
