Government officials declined to comment on the report, saying President Francois Hollande would express his views on the matter at a news conference Monday, Reuters reported citing the French newspaper.
France was the first country to join the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes on ISIS in Iraq, but had ruled out doing so in Syria, fearing that would benefit President Bashar Assad. It has supplied arms to what it considers "moderate rebels" fighting the Assad government.
But Europe's refugee crisis, largely caused by vast numbers of people fleeing the civil war in Syria, the failure to push back ISIS and a rising presence of Russia in the region may prompt a change in policy, Le Monde reported, saying Hollande discussed the issue with his defense team at a meeting Friday; Tasnim reported.
