I had never even heard of le Cateau, but I checked it out on SNCF... (stuck at home, kind of bored) and it is only 1h34 by train. Certainly doable in a day. Check out www.voyages-sncf.com

It is doable on a day trip, but really a hassle, because handy connections FROM Paris TO le Cateau are... evening connections, and you get it, handy connections FROM le Cateau to Paris are.... morning connections !

The Musée Matisse is nevertheless very interesting, they had a fabulous exhibition about Polish avantgarde lately.

I%26#39;m sorry, I had overlooked ... There is a direct train in 1hr34 but only at weekends ! Thanks Phread !
