I would say that almost all rabbits need a friend, even if they get plenty of human interaction. Yes, some rabbits are anti-social but most need a friend of their own kind. I have two small/medium bunnies and they love me (particularly Inky), even though they have each other and to be honest, even if they ignored me, I'd still adore them because they are a pleasure to watch playing together.
Also, I personally would disagree with a hutch of only 6 feet for a French Lop. That's the minimum for a 'normal' rabbit, a bigger rabbit is going to need a much bigger home, more like a shed.
