It appears that lovers who visit the Pont des Arts and Passerelle Léopold-Senghor Bridges have been leaving behind more than just memories, they are locking padlocks to the bridge’s fence as a sign of undying love. These padlocks have now been referred to as cadenas d’amour or love padlocks.
Paris, traditionally know for its cafes, artwork and monuments, now has another popular tourist attraction to add to the list. Beginning about two years ago, there are now almost 2,000 padlocks, in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes now locked to the bridges and scripted with messages of eternal love.

This begs the question, in what non-traditional ways do you use padlocks?
