History: It is believed that the French Lop came from a cross between an English Lop and a Flemish Giant. They have been called “French Lop” since the mid 1800’s. Some of the best French Lops can be found near France.

Fun Facts: The English and Mini Lop share a color guide with the French Lop. Even though the Flemish Giant is the largest breed of rabbit, the French Lop is the heaviest.
