Volia. Now New York can boast that it has its own “Ile de la Cite”. Many years ago I played Rugby on the field there and had a great time afterwards at the PX. It was a very nice place and it only cost .25 cents for a bottle of Beer which made for a lot of happy rugby players.I have not seen the new Ile yet but am looking forward to sitting in a nice shady spot to play a game of Chess like they do in Washington Sq. Park. Good Luck
