Planning a 2 week trip to Europe with an 11 & 12 years old boys. Would love to divide trip into Barcelona/France (where?) and Italy (Rome?). Any ideas on planning, strategies for transport and hotels? Things we must see or do?

What time of year are you going? Given you want to go from Barcelona to Italy, I'd suggest you just go east somewhere in the south of France for the French city. Nice, for example.
