The man is on a terror-prevention watchlist, local outlets reported citing the local prosecutor.
The watchlist, called terrorism and radicalisation prevention file (FSPRT), uses data from numerous authorities on individuals in the hopes of preventing "terrorist" radicalisation.
It was launched in 2015 following a series of attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's offices, as well as a Jewish supermarket.
The suspect also reportedly has a previous conviction related to advocating terrorism, according to Le Parisien.
