Bois-Colombes, Administrative commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France

Bois-Colombes extends over 1.9 square kilometers northwest of Paris, with residential areas and commercial districts between 28 and 43 meters above sea level.

The territory separated from Colombes to become an independent commune on March 17, 1896, marking the beginning of its administrative autonomy.

The local market operates three times per week, where residents gather to purchase fresh produce and maintain community connections through traditional commerce.

Two stations on the Transilien Paris-Saint-Lazare railway line connect the commune to central Paris, facilitating daily commutes for its 27,000 residents.

The former Hispano-Suiza factory blower stands as an industrial heritage monument, reflecting the area's manufacturing past within the Greater Paris region.
