Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, Administrative division in Haute-Marne, France
Colombey-les-Deux-Églises is a commune in the French department of Haute-Marne, spread across a rural landscape with forests and fields. The village sits at about 360 meters elevation and includes several scattered houses and two notable church buildings.
In 1973, the commune absorbed several neighboring communities, including Argentolles, Biernes, Blaise, and Champcourt. This merger significantly enlarged the village territory and shaped its current form.
The name comes from the Latin word colombarium, meaning cemetery. Two churches shape the place's religious character: Notre-Dame-en-son-Assomption and the former Benedictine priory church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
The Syndicat D'Initiative office at Rue Général de Gaulle provides visitor information and guided tours of the region. Travelers should know that the place is rural, so nearby towns offer additional services and amenities.
A Cross of Lorraine monument stands above the village, marking a historically significant place in French history. The structure serves as a quiet witness to events that shaped the nation.
