Victoria May/June 2025

Let Victoria’s May/June issue whisk you to the heart of France, where doors to some of the region’s most glorious estates have been thrown open, offering a glimpse into centuries of opulent splendor. Peek inside the country’s largest private residence, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a historic property known for lavish interiors, magnificent gardens, and storied heritage. Visit the Burgundy home of Shannon Grochowski, owner of La Châtelaine Chocolat Co., to sample authentic French fare. In addition, Lady-in-Residence The Countess of Carnarvon unlocks chapters of family lore to share thrilling ancestral adventures in The City of Light and beyond during the early years of car racing and aviation.
