Flammes is a 2002 compilation album by the French pop act Niagara, released nine years after the band broke up. It contains all the band's hit singles from its studio albums and was released in three formats: the classic edition with a single CD, a limited edition double CD with the second disc featuring the extended versions, and a deluxe box set including two CDs, a DVD of the group's music videos (except for "Tchiki Boum"), and a booklet with song lyrics and an overview of the band's history. This compilation topped the French Compilations Chart for three weeks and remained on the chart for 17 weeks (within the top 100). The DVD was also released as a stand-alone product.
