These four are often referred to as the martyred Daughters of Charity of Arras, as they were stationed in Arras at the time of their arrest, though they were tried and executed in Cambrai.

Arras is about one hundred miles almost directly north of Paris, and Cambrai is about twenty miles south east of Arras.
