**Matthew McConaughey** and **Camila Alves** have been spending some time during their vacation in France, volunteering at a restaurant to feed refugees and the homeless.

In between visits to the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the French countryside, the Hollywood couple stopped by the Madeleine Church where **Refettorio Paris** is located. The restaurant serves 5-star meals and gives them away for free to guests who are going through a rough time.

*"I have never seen anything like it!"* **Camila** writes in an Insta post. *"For instance, when guests arrive, someone checks their coat, they have beautiful dishware, the room looks like it's from a movie, the meals are cooked by Michelin Star chefs and the list goes on and on!!"*

**Matthew** and **Camila** were invited to help out by friend and artist "JR" who started the restaurant in collaboration with **Food For Soul** (chef **Massimo Bottura** and **Lara** **Gilmore's** organisation to fight food waste). And yes, you guessed it - all the meals are made from food that would've otherwise been thrown away.

As **Camila** explains, the restaurant is not just about feeding people who are hungry: *"They bring a dignified experience to guests (refugees and homeless) that's been lacking for many of them for a long time!"*

Earlier this year, **Pharrel** lended a hand there too:
