Aesthetics-minded Americans decry Paris love locks

Love locks are fixed on the Pont des Arts in Paris, Wednesday April 16, 2014. A recent fad among travellers of hitching padlocks on bridges and at tourist attractions worldwide to symbolically immortalize their amorous attraction has swept up this reputed City of Love more than most.

(AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere)PARIS (AP) — Without love, what is Paris?
