[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP bumping this.  We're starting to plan for a month in Europe next summer.

I plan to work for two weeks and take leave for two weeks.  The two weeks while I'm working can be consecutive or separated.  I'll likely be visiting some clients during that time, so my family will need to be reasonably autonomous while I'm gone.  Which means either being somewhere they can navigate easily or staying in place.

Week 1: London (me working)
Weekend 1: Ireland 
Week 2: England and Scotland
Weekend 2: Paris
Week 3: Switzerland (me working)
Week 4: driving tour of Bavaria, Austria and Northern Italy

We're confident about London, having spent a good amount of time there.  Switzerland is more uncertain.  Can anybody recommend a cool lakeside town that kids could lounge in for a few days, swimming in a lake and doing some hiking and sightseeing?

Lake Annecy in France meets your description almost perfectly. It's 45 minutes from Geneva, but much cheaper because it's France and not Switzerland. The water is quite warm in later July and August. You can get a 3BR house within a few hundred feet of the lake outside of the main city for around $300/night if you book way in advance. The towns of Sevrier and Saint Jorioz have very nice simple beaches, as an example.[/quote]
