Colombes is a Paris suburb, NW of the city center.
I stayed in this town without realising it was the former Olympic Village from 1924.
Colombes is more known as a grey industrial area with the Kléber en Hispano-Suiza factories.
Nowadays some of the oldest houses are being replaced by modern ones.
- Pros:Quick highway access
- Cons:Dated houses with lack of maintenance
- In a nutshell:Industrial/Olympic history NW of Paris City Center
