The French Mondain is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding.[1] French Mondains, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia). Originally developed in France as a Utility pigeon.[2]

The French Mondain is available in two different styles. The American and European French Mondain are actually different breeds that share the same name.[2]
