Coulombs was once a small village, also known as a commune, located in the northwestern part of France. It was part of the Calvados area, which is like a county, within the Normandy region, similar to a state. Coulombs was known for its quiet, countryside feel.
On January 1, 2017, Coulombs joined with other nearby villages to create a new, larger commune called Moulins en Bessin. This means Coulombs is no longer a separate commune but is now part of a bigger community.
