Be aware that the conversion of foreign currencies into Euros is not possible in Cambrai: banks are requiring that you own an account to offer that service.
The closest places where such conversion can be done are Lille, Douai, Valenciennes or Arras: La Banque de France has agencies in those towns.
Whether they follow the Escaut, drive along country roads, discover the picturesque alleys of the old Cambrai, fortified farms, museums, learn about Matisse and Blériot, lace ang giants, tourists will understand why the inhabitants of this part of France are so happy to welcome them and will feel like coming back.
