Glass panels that were installed on Paris' Pont des Arts bridge to stop tourists attaching 'lovelocks' to the railings have been scrawled with graffiti. Viewed as an apparent protest against city officials preventing the craze from continuing, interestingly it was Spanish words that were used on the panels. The word 'Preciosa', or 'beautiful' in Spanish was spray painted on the glass. Scroll down for video Preciosa, which means beautiful in Spanish, has been daubed on the bridge's glass panels The group who are campaigning for the end of 'lovelocks' believe this kind of act only strengthens their case The glass panels have been in place since September, but now graffiti 'artists' have left their mark on them
