A section of the famous Pont Des Arts bridge has collapsed.

The bridge is known as the ‘love bridge’ and it collapsed under the weight of thousands of padlocks attached to it.

The Pont Des Arts footbridge in Paris is completely covered with so called ‘lovelocks’. Every year, thousands of couples write their initials on locks and attach them to the side of the bridge.

But part of the railing fell away under the pressure of the growing number of locks attached to it.

Police were forced to hurry tourists off the bridge and close it down.
