===Cambrai in literature and cinema===
*[[Ernst Jünger]] in ''[[Storm of Steel]]'', dedicated to [[World War I]], described Cambrai in 1917:

{{pull quote|Cambrai is a small, quiet and sleepy city of Artois (sic), to the name of which is attached many historical memories. Narrow and antiquated alleys run like a maze around the huge city hall, doors eaten away by the centuries and many churches, the largest of which saw Fénelon preach. Heavy steeples stand amongst a jumble of pointed gables. Broad avenues lead to a well-kept public garden, which is adorned with a monument to Louis Blériot.
The inhabitants are peaceful and cordial people, who lead in their big houses, simple in appearance, but richly furnished, with a life of wellbeing. The small city has been rightfully nicknamed "the city of millionaires" because, just before the war, there were forty of these [[Croesus]]-like people.

The [[World War I|Great War]] tore this hole of the province in its sleep of Sleeping Beauty and the gigantic turn of home struggles...|author=[[Ernst Jünger]]|source=''[[Storm of Steel]]''<ref>Ernst Jünger, ''Orages d'acier'', Christian Bourgeois 1970, traduction de [[Henri Plard]].</ref>}}
