Question: where is the place where you put locks on a fence

title: Love lock
text: In May 2010 the city of Paris expressed concern over the growing number of love - locks on the Pont des Arts , Passerelle Léopold - Sédar - Senghor , and the Pont de l'Archevêché bridges , stating : `` they raise problems for the preservation of our architectural heritage '' . The lovelocks of the Pont des Arts disappeared during the night of 11 May 2010 ; they had been removed by a student of the nearby École des Beaux - Arts to make a sculpture . Love locks immediately began appearing on the Pont de l'Archevêché and have since spread to at least 11 Seine bridges , the Canal Saint Martin footbridges , and to parks and monuments all over the city . Many tourists mistakenly believe this is a longstanding Parisian tradition , not realizing the practice only migrated into Paris in late 2008 after affecting cities in Italy and Asia . In January 2014 , a campaign and petition , No Love Locks TM , was founded by two Americans living in Paris in an effort to save the city 's historic bridges and monuments from the overwhelming number of locks . The international media attention the campaign received has been credited with the actions begun in the summer and fall of 2014 , when the city began seeking alternatives to love locks and asking the public to stop placing locks on Parisian bridges and monuments . On 9 May 2014 , the weight of the padlocks on the Pont Des Arts bridge was blamed for the collapse of part of the parapet . The city began an experiment in September 2014 on the Pont des Arts , replacing three panels with a special type of glass that would prevent locks from being attached . On 1 June 2015 , the locks were taken down due to the collapsing of the bridge . A website called Passion Locks exists , a tribute to Pont des Arts , where users can send others a virtual love lock .
