What could be more France Profonde ('heart of France') than Limousin.
An enterprising couple turned a former priory 'Le Vieux Presbytere' of Felletin (Creuse) into a bed and breakfast 3 Places des Arbres, a 10 minute drive from Aubusson.
From Felletin, you can explore the Auvergne region including Le Mont Dore and the Puy-de-Dôme.
Not sure what the locals thought when Andrea and Bruce, the owners decided to offer Vegetarian dinner options to their guest.
Limousin after all is well known of its cows. Limousin breeds are amongst the oldest in Europe.
Building on their own effort, they decided to list food and travel options catering to non-meat eaters around France via Vegetarian and Vegan France which also shares recipes and food products.

Found my way to Felletin thanks to Nadine of Indulgent Foodie.
Thanks for the mention. Actually, we have written a couple of articles about our experiences (http://vegetarianandveganfrance.com/2009/03/10/“Ce-nest-pas-grave”/ and http://vegetarianandveganfrance.com/2009/03/16/committed-to-la-comite/).
Vegetarian options are a part of life here now. Felletin had it’s first beer festival in July and the veggie chilli went down a storm.
