Coulée verte de Colombes

Coulée verte de Colombes is a green corridor stretching about 850 meters with a dense woodland section in the north and open meadows with play areas in the south. The path weaves through the urban area with fitness equipment and dedicated spaces for children throughout.

The corridor follows a former railway line that operated from 1881 to 1979. After the line closed, it was transformed during the 1990s into a green space dedicated to recreation and environmental awareness.

This green space hosts a variety of tree species that display different colors through the seasons, creating a living calendar of natural change. Walking through reveals how locals have adapted an industrial space into a place for gathering and playing with nature.

Access is easiest via SNCF Transilien station on Line J at Colombes. The path is straightforward to navigate with clear entry points at several locations, making it accessible for visitors with varying mobility levels.

The path features QR codes and geocaching activities scattered throughout that guide visitors to hidden caches. This blend of technology and nature exploration turns a simple walk into an interactive discovery game.
