Planning an extended trip through England, France and Italy in April next year and just decided that when we go from France to Italy we will stop over for 1-night in Switzerland.
If only for 1-night where should we stay?

That depends on the route you take between France and Italy.

The route will determine where we stay. We are taking the train so we can go anywhere.

Then I would suggest Luzern. You can get a fast train to Milan from there, taking 3 1/2 hours, or with a single connection in 3 hours. That route uses the long Gotthard Base Tunnel. If you want to take a more scenic route, the route by passing that tunnel and more over the Alps takes about 2 hours longer. If after April 15, you can even take a route that includes a boat ride and 1st class panorama train. That takes even longer o course.
