Colombes, Residential commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France
Description
Colombes is a residential town in the Hauts-de-Seine department northwest of Paris, spread across several neighborhoods. Four train stations connect the town to the capital, offering residents quick links to the center.
History
Large portions of the territory were separated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to form new towns. The current municipality took shape after these territorial changes, which redrew the boundaries of the area.
Culture
The name comes from the Latin word for doves, which once lived here in large numbers. Today the town thrives on the daily rhythms of its residents, who walk through residential streets, shops and small parks.
Practical
Train lines bring visitors to central Paris in a short time, while the neighborhoods are best explored on foot. Public schools and parks shape the townscape and serve as landmarks when walking around.
