SNCF Connect is the cheapest way to book. Sales should open about 4 months before, sometimes a bit earlier even: SNCF Connect lets you set alerts.
I find that First class is worth it on such a long ride (6.5 hours), and not much more expensive if booked early.
By the way, Barça is not a usual nickname/abbreviation for Barcelona ;)
