Paris bridge’s locks of love taken down
"Bruno Julliard, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, who supervised the removal of the locks, tried to be sensitive to the feelings of those who had placed them there, saying that Paris was still 'the capital of love, the capital of romance.'
"But he urged people to find other ways to express their fervency."
(The Times story this morning put the total weight of locks being removed at 45 tons. Part of the lock ritual was to toss the key into the river Seine below. Nobody’s said anything about dredging up the keys, so there’s that.)
