After football
In 1991, Bureau retired from football; he subsequently went to live in the area of Nantes.[2] He started a car cleaning company, and invested his capital in a night club called "Le Quai West". However, he would go back to one of his former passions, catering, in a restaurant in Nantes called “Aux délices de la pomme de terre”, before investing in real estate and apartment renovation in the Loire-Atlantique.[2]
