Colombes () is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France, from the centre of Paris. In 2019, Colombes was the 53rd largest city in France.
==Name== The name Colombes comes from Latin columna (Old French colombe), meaning "column". This is interpreted as referring either to a megalithic column used in ancient times by a druidic cult which stood in Colombes until its destruction during the French Revolution, or to the columns of an atrium in a ruined Gallo-Roman villa that also stood in Colombes.
