When couples come to Paris they immortalize their love by locking it to a bridge.

Because too many couples did just this, authorities had to remove hundreds of thousands of locks. Lover locks collapsed a portion of a bridge in 2014.

In 2015, another part with locks was removed. Now, people can purchase the locks as art. A cluster of locks will go for $165 to $220. An entire panel will go for $5,470 to $11,000
