In honor of the independence days of the US and France I thought a little comparison chart would be helpful:

Independence Days

Now, in the interest of fraternité I suggest, why not celebrate both?

As for us at A Votre Service! what we’d like to celebrate is our 21 years in providing stellar service to the Hamptons, the many friends we have made along the way, and the quality of our work—from housekeeping to property management to corporate housing. And we also celebrate our founding principles, not quite revolutionary, of course, but we think worth remembering: be caring, respectful, conscientious, hardworking, and treat any home as if it were our own.

And rest assured we haven’t missed a single fireworks display…or glass of Champagne!

Amitiés,
Jocelyne

P.S. Just in case you decide to rush about with the Champagne on a platter, and spill some onto your carpet, we’ll be happy to help with the cleanup in this most unfortunate event!
