A worker removes "love padlocks" attached on the railings of the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris on June 1, 2015.  Started by tourists in Paris in 2008, the love locks ritual, which also spread in the early 2000s to cities including New York, Seoul and London, has resulted in the transformation of several bridges : every inch of their railings is now covered with clunky brass padlocks.
