The soldiers are said to have just left their barracks when a vehicle drove at them.
Police say the BMW appeared to target the group, however, the motive is unclear.
However, Sky News in the UK has quoted Levallois-Perret's mayor saying he believes it to be a deliberate act.
The soldiers were reportedly linked to Operation Sentinelle, set up after the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks to clamp down on terrorism in France.
More to come.
