Victoria May/June 2024

A blushing bouquet of roses gives a prelude to the petaled perfection that awaits in the May/June Victoria. From Artist-in-Residence Natasja Sadi’s exuberant arrangements of fresh and sugared blooms to a nostalgic celebration of May Day—complete with a beribboned maypole—floral pageantry abounds. Our perennially popular French issue explores the charming village of Dinan, magnificent châteaux of the Loire Valley, and inspiring sites related to Joan of Arc. You will not want to miss visiting the home of interior designer David Hare or our romantic escape to La Borde en Sologne Château & Spa. Plus, Writer-in-Residence Jennifer L. Scott shares lessons in the art of living gleaned during her time as a foreign exchange student in Paris, prompting our test kitchens to develop a menu of delectable Gallic fare.
