According to him, there is “a subject of substance and society” treat.

Inflation of “2%” at Bureau Vallée
Regarding the inflation figures, the Managing Director France of Bureau Vallée regrets “to hear everything and anything and especially anything”. It invites consumer defense associations such as Families of France or the Trade Union Confederation of Families (CSF) “to sit around the table” because according to him, it is possible with INSEE “to create an index” thus providing accurate and reliable data.
Adrien Peyroles reacts once more to Gabriel Attal’s interview on TF1: “I was a little angry regarding the question and the answer.” Because he was “announcement” that the cost of school supplies for a pupil in primary school had jumped by 23%. This figure, which results from a survey published and conducted by the CSF, is, according to him, “whimsical”. Car, “At Bureau Vallée, inflation is 2%. Among our competitors – source GFK, a specialist firm – it’s 9%”.
Customers buy “the bare necessities”
The Managing Director France of Bureau Vallée ensures that the company has “absorbed part of the price increase” in particular by reducing its margins since “Inflation is not good for anyone”. Adrien Peyroles has been observing for a year “the phenomenon of crossed out lists”. In other words, customers take inventory at home so as not to buy binders, pens, schoolbags or other supplies that they can reuse. “They come back to our stores more often, but they buy the bare necessities. They come back at the end of December for what is called the second return to school”he explains.
Then there is “price war” during this back-to-school season. “Competition is very fierce at this time”insists Adrien Peyroles. “We are very, very careful regarding prices. You should know that Bureau Vallée talks to Leclerc who talks to Carrefour. It’s a battle by interposed promotions”he continues.
