Paris tradition - locks

I should have taken a lock to Paris!  Though the locks are often referred to as 'love locks,' I wonder if some travelers place a lock on the bridge to commemorate a visit to the 'city of light.'

Hundreds and hundreds of locks have been placed along the railing of various bridges in Paris.  Martha and Jerry placed their 49th wedding anniversary lock on the bridge during my visit.
