Mehdi Nemmouche is of Franco-Algerian origin and from Roubaix near the border with Belgium. He was arrested in Marseille, in a routine customs check as he arrived on a coach from Amsterdam a few days after the shootings.
Police said he was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle and a handgun matching those used in the attack. Prosecutors said that after spending a year in Syria he had returned to Europe, flying to Germany in March.
Belgium sought his extradition under a European arrest warrant, which fast-tracks the legal process.
"My client will certainly appeal to the Court of Cassation (France's top criminal court) because he is not satisfied with this decision," his lawyer Apolin Pepiezep told French TV.
France, like several other European countries, is under pressure to tackle the radicalisation of young Muslim men influenced by the conflict in Syria
In March 2013, a young French Islamist, Mohamed Merah, murdered three paratroopers as well as three Jewish children and a teacher at a Jewish school in Toulouse.
Although Mehdi Nemmouche's return to Europe was reported to France by the German authorities, little attempt was apparently made to keep track of him.
