Place du 9 octobre

Highlight • Monument

Place du 9 octobre is a famous place in Cambrai, France. The square was designed by architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet in 1919 to improve the connection between the north-south and east-west axes of the city. The name of the square commemorates the entry of the Canadian troops into Cambrai on 9 October 1918.
In the middle of the square is a monument in honour of Edmond Garin, the mayor of Cambrai from 1919 to 1925. The monument has a bas-relief depicting the "Goutte de Lait" (Drop of Milk), a charity initiative he supported.

Place Aristide Briand

Highlight • Historical Site

Place Aristide Briand in Cambrai is a historically important site that was completely destroyed by German troops in 1918. The square was rebuilt between 1924 and 1932, according to a design by architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet. The reconstruction combined Art Deco and regionalist styles, with specific guidelines for the buildings, including a minimum width of 6 meters, three levels and mansard roofs. The square has retained its harmonious appearance over the years and remains a central part of Cambrai's architectural heritage.

Cambrai Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Located in the Hauts-de-France region, Cambrai Town Hall is a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture. The building houses three impressive state rooms: the ceremonial hall, the white salon and the banqueting hall1. One of the most striking features of the town hall are the murals by Emile Flamant, painted between 1927 and 1931, which depict the history of the town and its famous figures1.

In addition, Martin and Martine, the two "jacquemarts" (mechanical automatons), are a unique sight. They have been striking the hours on the town hall's clock tower since 1512.

Former Jesuit chapel

Highlight • Other

The Jesuits arrived in Cambrai in 1562 to fight against the spread of Protestantism and founded a college there. Thanks to a legacy from Monsignor Vanderburch, they had their chapel rebuilt between 1678 and 1694 according to the principles of the Counter-Reformation, based on plans drawn up by the architect Jean du Blocq. The architectural rhythm, the play of polychromy and the abundance of sculpted decoration make this building a masterpiece of northern Baroque art. This ornamental richness is found inside in the profusion of high and low reliefs in the choir and the nave. Its decoration is completed by a series of paintings by the painter Arnoult de Vuez, representing scenes from the life of Christ. (Cambrai Tourist Office).

ND de Grace Cathedral

Highlight • Other

The former abbey church and the guest house, which has housed the Post Office since 1905, belonged to the Abbey of the Holy Sepulchre, founded in the 11th century. Between 1696 and 1702, under the episcopate of Fénelon, the whole was rebuilt in the classical style advocated by Louis XIV. The sobriety of the decor contrasts with the exuberant baroque façade of the Jesuit chapel opposite. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was designated as the new cathedral by Bishop Louis Belmas in 1804 after the destruction of the Gothic cathedral during the Revolution. (City of Cambrai)

Spanish House

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1595 during the Spanish occupation, hence its name, this half-timbered house with a gable on the street is the last example of this type of construction, which was widespread from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. The load-bearing walls are made of stone, the corbelled façade is made of wood and the gable is clad in slate. The ground floor is reserved for shops, with housing located upstairs.

Notre-Dame Beguinage

Highlight • Other

The Béguinage Notre-Dame is a religious monument in the city of Cambrai, located in the Nord department in France. It is one of the many béguinages in the city and has been classified as a historical monument since 16 July 1984.
The Béguinage Notre-Dame is located at 27 Rue des Capucins. The building, built in the 17th century, was originally used by a chaplain of Cambrai Cathedral3. After his death in 1692, he bequeathed the building to the poor of the city. In 1693, the parish priest and the church of Sainte-Croix bought the building to establish a béguinage, which it remained until the middle of the 20th century.
