Public Transport from Carcassonne to Girona via Narbonne

Why are trains so expensive for travel between Carcassonne to Narbonne to Girona to Barcelona.
Primarily the route between Narbonne to Girona - each ticket costing around 60 to 70 euros.
I have heard that the local TER trains are much cheaper and pass through Portbou, but could not find any such options. Is there a website for local trains?

Also whats the best transport to take up, to see scenic views, I am ok to spend an additional couple of hours for my journey between Narbonne to Girona, if it takes me via Perpignan or Portbou or any other route.

SNCF wants to put you on a TGV to go between Narbonne and Girona. You can take a TER from from Narbonne to Portbou for 21 EUR, and at Portbou you can take a Renfe regional train to Girona, for what I imagine will be a bit less than 21 EUR. SNCF won't show that because they don't sell Renfe tickets.
