Actually, the lock thing is a huge pain in the arse for the city of Paris. Those bridges are hundreds, some thousands of years old. Each lock adds roughly half a pound and they do a huge number on the integrity of the bridges; so someone has to go and cut them off by hand, haul them off and discard them somewhere.

They also do this nonsense in Dublin on the older bridges over the River Luffey.

Paris:
Pickpockets at (especially) the Eiffel Tower
Forget any diet you might have, eat and drink like it's your last day/night on Earth.
Try some Frenchy talk, sometimes even erroneous fragments will help.
Ask any normal-looking local you get to know (at a shop, taxi driver, etc.) about where they would take a family member for a meal.
Wear non-descript clothes and comfortable shoes. I'm an extreme walker when touring.
