car rental v. train

Has anyone drivin from Paris to Collioure or Perpignon? My husband and I have a 4 day 3 night hole in our schedule in between our stay in Paris and Barcelona. We are thinking about renting a car and slowly make our way down to southern france. If you have made the drive was it enjoyable? Were there a lot of little towns and options of places to stay and explore along the way? Or would we be better off taking a night train and just getting to Collioure and staying the whole time in the one spot?

Annie, my hubby and I did that exact drive from Paris to Collioure quite a few years back. It was very pleasant and we made stops along the way (staying here and there) in Amboise, Sarlat, Beynac, and Carcassonne. I believe RS covers these ink his France book.
