THE LOVE LOCK FENCE
THE CACHE IS LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES, HOWEVER YOU MUST DISCOVER HOW TO ACCESS THE CACHE. READ BELOW FOR INSTURCTIONS...
Between 1802 and 1804, under the reign of Napoleon I, a nine-arch metallic bridge for pedestrians was constructed at the location of the present day Pont des Arts: this was the first metal bridge in Paris, France.
Beginning in late 2008, tourists began attaching padlocks (love locks) with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing or the grate on the side of the bridge, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, as a romantic gesture. This gesture is said to represent a couple's committed love.
By 2014, concern was being expressed about the possible damage the weight of the locks were doing to the structure of the bridge.
In June 2015, city council workmen from Paris, France started to cut down all the locks after years of complaints from locals.
Fast forward to 2017....Paris, Arkansas.
The city has turned the key on its French roots and established a Love Lock fence inside its Eiffel Tower Park.
The Love Lock Fence was placed to celebrate love. It was erected in 2017 during the "Spring Time in Paris Festival" with the first lock being placed on the fence by Miss Arkansas, Savannah Skidmore.
The city invites you get a pad lock, add your name and the name of your significant other written on your lock and then place the lock on the fence. However, they do remind you to throw your key in the Eiffel Tower fountain and forever seal your love in Paris, Arkansas.
The Eiffel Tower Park was established in 2014 on the west side of the town square. The 18-ft. Eiffel Tower stands on top of a fountain bringing the total height to 25 ft. The tower is also painted with the exact same paint brand and color as its bigger twin in Paris, France.
