It is known the world over for being a city of romance. But one bridge in Paris is literally buckling under the weight of love. <br /><br /> So many mini padlocks – tokens of affection – have been attached to the Pont des Arts that officials are worried about safety.<br /><br /> Now teams are moving in to remove them, leaving couples having to find an alternative way to express their love.<br /><br /> “I heard that it’s just going to be like thrown out. I think they should at least put it in a museum or you know, actually put it somewhere, so people can see it. Because I think they are just going to put it in the bin,” said one visitor.<br /><br /> Officials say at least one railing section has already collapsed. The plan is to replace all of the metal grids with padlock proof barriers. <br /><br /> After a long loving relationship with the river Seine, officials say it is now time for the Pont des Arts to move on.
