An accord signed in March between the French government and an alliance of Christian charities states that up to 500 Syrian Christian refugees are to be brought over as part of what an Air France spokesperson said is a "humanitarian corridor" project.
The French national airline company said over the next 18 months it would ensure the transportation of "vulnerable" families - such as the elderly or those with children. They will be welcomed to the country with a valid visa.
The agreement was signed last Wednesday at the Air France office of Les Invalides.
The company says the ticket price is "very competitive" and that group size and travel dates will be "flexible".
Families will not be separated and all will be accompanied by either a member of one of the Christian associations or an Air France employee in Lebanon "if necessary".
The aim of the project, which was spearheaded by the Italian Sant'Egidio Christian charity, is to provide an alternative to Syrian refugees to undertaking dangerous sea journeys across the Mediterranean.
The charity has already helped hundreds of refugees reintegrate back into society, helping children get back to school and finding housing, jobs and language classes for the parents.
