The two Muslim boys, aged 15 and 16, were charged with criminal conspiracy in connection with a terrorist enterprise and placed under court supervision, which will include educational measures, said a judicial source.
The pair, who are from the southern city of Toulouse, flew to Turkey on January 6th and crossed the border into Syria, apparently planning to join the thousands of foreigners fighting President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
A lawyer for the younger suspect called the charges "ridiculous" and said the boys' trip was for "humanitarian" reasons.
