Say Markit:
"Business conditions in the French manufacturing sector improved further at the start of the third quarter. The expansion continued to be driven by sharp increases in output and new orders, which in turn, encouraged firms to take on new workers to the greatest extent in almost 17 years.
Input price inflation remained sharp, but eased for the third consecutive month, while, on the contrary, average selling prices increased at a quicker pace as some firms took advantage of firm client demand. Companies' confidence towards future output growth was the most marked since that series began in July 2012."
