The other two television journalists have been freed. All three were arrested on Wednesday for flying a drone in the Bois de Boulogne park on the western edge of the French capital, for the purposes of a television report.
The journalist facing court is a 34-year-old British citizen working for Al-Jazeera's international service, who received the drone from the station's London bureau in November.
He was controlling the aircraft from the ground. The other two were freelancers aged 52 and 68, one British and one Belgian, who were helping to film a segment on drones.
The unmanned aircraft has been confiscated by the authorities.
