  2. Boulonnais (and it's sub-type, the Picardy)
  3. Brabant
  4. Breton
  5. Nivernaise
  6. Percheron
  7. Poitevin


Note that various French draft breeds were developed or are related to draft breeds of other countries. The Poitevin, for example, is a descendant of Flemish horses brought to France.
