How to find the best French cheese for you: an expert's guide to cheese shopping in France
While flying to Europe, I like to ask flight attendants about their favourite haunts in the destination city. Whether it is their hometown or a place they fly to regularly, they know where to eat and shop. However, when one such conversation turned to Paris cheese stores, an airline employee told me that she often leaves empty-handed. 'I'm always so intimidated,' she said. I used to be daunted, too, but after a decade of spending at least three months of the year in France, I approach each cheese counter as a new adventure. During my travels throughout the country, I have made a hobby of sampling regional cheeses at their point of origin and, in some cases, visiting the village from which a particular variety gets its name. One of the more memorable stops, in the Auvergne region of south-central France, was Saint-Nectaire. My mission: to buy this nutty-flavoured, semi-soft cheese directly from a producer. By following road signs for the Route des Fromages, or cheese route, I found one whose family had been in the business for eight generations. Like others in the area, they sold the cheese only by the wheel, which weighed several pounds each. Before committing to the €17 (US$20) purchase, I asked for a taste. The vendor obliged, using a tool called a sonde, which drilled into the centre of the cheese to extract a slender, creamy, smooth ivory sample.

Saturn Oil & Gas Inc. Announces Results of Substantial Issuer Bid
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - Saturn Oil & Gas Inc. (TSX: SOIL) (OTCQX: OILSF) ("Saturn" or the "Company"), a light oil-weighted producer focused on unlocking value through the development of our assets in Saskatchewan and Alberta, today announces the final results of our previously announced substantial issuer bid, which expired on July 16, 2025 (the "Offer"). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and based on the final report by Odyssey Trust Company, as depositary for the Offer (the "Depositary"), Saturn has taken up and will pay for 1,608,182 common shares ("Shares") of the Company at a purchase price of $2.15 per Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,457,591 excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. The Shares purchased for cancellation under the Offer represent approximately 0.8% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares as of June 11, 2025, the last full trading day prior to the date the Offer was publicly announced. After giving effect to the Offer, 193,318,469 Shares remain outstanding. As the total number of Shares tendered was less than the total that could have been purchased by Saturn under the terms of the Offer, all Shares validly deposited and not withdrawn will be purchased under the Offer and no proration will be required. Payment for the Shares accepted for purchase under the Offer will occur in accordance with the terms of the Offer and applicable law. To assist shareholders in determining the tax consequences of the Offer, Saturn estimates that based on the estimated paid-up capital of $2.18 per Share on the Expiration Date for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), shareholders who disposed of Shares pursuant to the Offer would not be expected to have received a taxable dividend. Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of depositing their Shares under the Offer. The Company's NCIB was suspended during the period of the Offer, but Saturn intends to resume our NCIB and continue purchasing Shares thereunder until its expiry on August 26, 2025, or such earlier date on which Saturn has purchased the maximum number of Shares permitted under the NCIB. The Company intends to continue making regular purchases under our NCIB, and wherever possible, maximize our daily purchase limit. There can be no assurance as to how many Shares, if any, Saturn will acquire under the NCIB.
