STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with the downside of being the city of love. Paris is trying to solve a problem. People have been locking padlocks on a bridge over the river Seine as a symbol of their love. So many attached lovers' locks, the weight is damaging bridge railings.

It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
