In 1985, the French comedian known as Coluche announced live on TV that he "had a little idea." Coluche wanted to create a restaurant for the poor, and thus was born Les Restos du Cœur (restaurants of the heart). Although Coluche died only two years later, Restos du cœur lived on. Over the years, it grew into a big association that today numbers 73,000 volunteers and has supplemented its meal distribution with a long list of services.
