Day trip: Barcelona to Carcassonne

We have been to Barcelona several times and are taking Mom this trip. She really wants to drive into France and see some of the countryside. It seems Carcassonne is doable for the day (10a-9p), but does anyone have any other suggestions for a strictly day trip into France?

We will be arriving in Barcelona the day before so have picked out a Hertz location near our hotel. According to Google it is only a 2 hour drive to Perrignan and three and a half on to Carcasonne if we decide to keep going. Hoping to get in some great siteseeing on the way. Of course GPS will be a must as we usually get lost at least once.

We did this trip several years ago. We rent a car on El Prat, and then, we take the Barcelona Ronda Periferica to the Border. Some of my Europeans friends said I was crazy, but is possible. If somebody helps you to drive. Something curios. The told road is small and crowded of Trucks all the time...
