The suspects were arrested along with another man in the central city of Saint Etienne on Tuesday and have been detained since then, a legal source told the AFP news agency.
On Saturday they were charged with terror plotting due to what the source described as "vague plans to leave for a jihad zone and evoking an imprecise plan to take violent action".
The fifth man was not charged.
