In December I'm travelling from Paris to Barcelona or from Barcelona to Paris, we still don't know yet.
What route would you recommend to get from one point to the other? I mean are there any "must see" cities or little towns between this two big cities that are worth stopping by? And if so, what transportation would you recommend? A couple of people have told me to just skip the little cities since Paris has a lot to offer by itself. They have suggested 3 days Barcelona and 7 days Paris. Would you agree with that?
I would really appreciate any input since it's my first time to Europe.

If you only have 10 days for Barcelona and Paris I wouldn't plan on visiting any other places - this will be just enough for Barcelona & Paris. Personally I don't think 3 days in Barcelona will scratch the surface. I'd probably divide the time equally between the two. The weather should be more moderate in Barcelona in December vs Paris.
How about the transportation from Paris to Barcelona. Train or plane? Are there any worth seeing scenes if I travel by train? Or just skip that and take a flight?
"A couple of people have told me . . ." Those couple of people told you that on your other thread. You only have 10 days -- when you subtract jet lag on day one, and the .5 to 1 full day to travel between Barcelona/Paris, and the last day for packing/flying home -- you really only have about 7-8 days free for seeing the sites.
So fly between the two cities and maximize the short time you have.
