In the past we chose Cannes, France, as we could have side trips to Grasse, the fields and visits of the factories. This event was delegated to Allured due to reasons I will not elaborate on. I do not think any perfumers visited the CT location. In any event, it's a perk for our overseas colleagues to see the US and the NY Metro area, rather than the same old fields. Well...I can only guess people who love the synthetics were the folks who voted for this location - because there is nothing natural about the Casinos. My friend who had a small lavender farm here in the orchards of Glastonbury, unfortunately moved away, but a tour of a few rows of our local lavender would not compare to France anyway! Wow...I wish I had something to suggest - a local tradition not TOO far away is the Lobster Roll at Lenny & Joes Fish Tale! http://ljfishtale.com/ CT has quite a few vineyards but again...if you are used to France, I think you might not be that impressed. But if I spent $2,000 to attend this event - I'd just eat all the meals included and probably never leave! Of course, if you have never been to NYC and have the time to go...you must. And Mystic Aquarium and Mystic Seaport is pretty close too. Wow...this is hard... Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
