When we first moved here, we were told that a man would come to our door with a dirty face and funny hat. When he came, we were to let him in. He was the Chimney Sweep. We have been here for 6 months. Many workers have come to our door. Some were wearing hats. They all spoke only French, but none were the chimney sweep. Some came to clean the pool, others to do the gardening.
Today, the doorbell rang and I was greeted by this. (see the picture) Viola! A man with a semi dirty face and a funny hat. His top hat was very old and beat up. With the man, was a young apprentice. They waited at the door, so I could run to get my camera. They happily posed for a picture and then said, "Tout comme, Mary Poppins." I replied, "Oui, just like Mary Poppins."
Using their brushes and other tools, they were in and out in 20 minutes. They declared that we are now clean and only offering 4% pollution. This, by the way, was communicated by French and hand language. They said, "It good." They left with a handshake and a huge smile, just as they had arrived.

Not the pool cleaner this time :)
Our chimney sweep didn't come dressed like that! How awesome!
So how much does that cost? Here, it's starts at $150 and goes up from there!
