Colombes, Residential commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France

Located 10.6 kilometers from central Paris, Colombes extends across the northwestern suburbs with four train stations connecting to the metropolitan area.

The territory of Colombes underwent significant changes when 17% was separated to form Bois-Colombes in 1896, followed by 19% for La Garenne-Colombes in 1910.

The Yves-du-Manoir Stadium, constructed in 1907, served as the main venue for the 1924 Summer Olympics and continues to host major sporting events.

The commune maintains 21 preschools and 19 elementary schools, while the Transilien Paris-Saint-Lazare line provides direct access to central Paris within 20 minutes.

Queen Henrietta Maria of England, widow of Charles I, spent her final days at her estate in Colombes, where she died in 1669.
