As the largest airport in France, it serves a massive range of passenger and cargo airlines, including a few budget offerings.

Attractions In Colombes

Colombes boasts an impressive 10 markets, so if casual shopping whets your travelling appetite, pass by on market day with plenty of money to spend. Most of the restaurants and entertainment areas are located inside the immense Les Quatre Temps, but you'll probably find its architecture even more thrilling than its lineup of stores. The commune is renowned for its parks, where 19th-century painters used to while away the hours. If you prefer hiking to strolling, the Lagravere has a few lazy five kilometre trails. The Museum of Art and History is also well worth a visit. History buffs will enjoy the Yves-de-Manoir stadium, which hosted the 1924 Olympics and was an internment camp during the Holocaust.

Parking And Traffic Information In Colombes

France forbids parking on certain streets, so watch out for signs stating "cote du stationment." These tell you when to make room for street cleaning and other maintenance. It's not unusual to find two cars parked in one space, so make sure your car is insured. Most motorways carry a toll, which is usually payable at the exit. Parking is not allowed on red routes, so seek out free Blue Zones. Most rates are surprisingly economical and operate on a reducing scale as the hours progress. This is perfect for road trippers who want to explore the region at a snail's pace.
