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.translated by
