It's official!
We're going to Switzerland in September! I just confirmed with DH the dates and we're buying tickets tonight. My best friend is in Lugano so we'll use her place as a hub while we travel to France for a few days, Italy for a day or two and northern Switzerland for a day or two. I am sooo excited!
We would have never been able to go to Europe if my best friend wasn't over there. This has dramatically cut the costs because we don't have to stay at hotels every night (we only have to book a hotel 5 nights out of the whole 14 day trip!). And we get to travel by train! I love traveling and DH finally agreed that he wouldn't rent a car... we'll get eurorail passes.
So if anyone has any good ideas for places in Switzerland, France or Italy for us to visit I'm all ears! We're trying to stay fairly flexible with where we go so we can pick and choose depending on where we are, etc... YAY!

Re: It's official!
Awesome! You'll have a great time! If you can, definitely go to Rome and Florence.
woo-hoo, how exciting Dani! Paris is a must and i can think of quite a few places there that you should go to. how many days will you be there? also, about 2 hours drive north of Paris is Normandie and it's so lovely.
we'll talk soon!!!
how fun!
I have some great recs in England but that's it
I'd suggest that over those other places any day! ha ha ha, just kidding! 
I've been to France a couple times (don't be too jealous, when you live in England going to France is like living in San Diego and going to Mexico) - we used to camp on the west coast in Brittany and Quimper... gorgeous area of the country!
Paris is nice, I just couldn't stand to be there longer than a couple days but I am NOT a city girl! 
The Normandy area, as suggested, is also lovely.
Never been to Switzerland or Italy so I can't help with those.. My parents went to Switzerland for their honeymoon but that was in 1975. I'd ask them for recs but I think it's changed a bit since then!
It's great to have friends in countries like that (especially since everything in Europe/the UK is sooooo expensive! ugh...)
Enjoy your trip and happy planning
Beaune, France, which is outside Dijon. Go to Marche Aux Vin. Best place ever.
You can use your pass and take the train from Paris to get there. No car necessary.
