In an article titled “Paris helps unlock true loveThe Christian Science Monitor observes that Paris, in removing nearly a million “love locks” from the Pont des Arts bridge and taking steps to deter future locks, “did a big favor … for love itself …” by encouraging couples to “express their devotion in more enduring ways.” The Monitor notes that other ways of expressing affection “could at least suggest that love should be less earthbound ....
