Colomars

History

Colomars was founded in 1070 by the monastery of Saint-Pons for the children of Raimbaud de Nice and Rostaing de Gréolièrs. A decree signed on 2 June 1874 by Maréchal de Mac Mahon separated Colomars, Aspremont and Castagniers into three separate villages. The municipality has celebrated 125 years of age on 19 September 1999.

Geography

Colomars is a residential area, located in a valley between Var to the west and Mont Chauve to the east. There are many pines and olive trees in the centre of the village. The fortress in Colomars was built in 1880 and the Sirole chapel was inaugurated in 1857.
