Colombelles (French pronunciation: (listen)) is a commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. It is located on the Canal de Caen à la Mer. The population of this sleepy little village mushroomed after August Thyssen bought some land in 1909 and established a steel mill there. Colombelles is twinned with Fremington, Devon (UK) since 1983 and with Steinheim am Albuch (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) since 1986 (see that article in German). More information...
