Security officials found jihadist documents at the mosque where yesterday's raids took place.
Police in France also arrested the owner of a revolver found during Wednesday's raid, France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.
They have placed nine people under house arrest. Another 22 have been banned from leaving the country Mr Cazeneuve said.
Along with the arrests and seizure of arms, police raids confiscated illegal narcotics at 165 different locations.
France has been under a state of emergency since 130 people were killed in a series of terror attacks in Paris on November 13. Since then, some 2,235 homes and buildings have been raided, 232 people taken into custody, and 334 weapons confiscated.
Cazeneuve said the number of weapons apprehended so far is staggering.
He said: "In 15 days we have seized one-third of the quantity of war-grade weapons that are normally seized in a year."
Officials said they have encountered at least 100 cases in which extremists have tried to establish contact with refugees.
Police also found recordings of religious chants "glorifying the martyrs of jihad linked to the terrorist organisation Jabhat al-Nusra", the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, the prefecture added.
The recordings were found among a wealth of teaching material for youngsters in an undeclared madrassa, or religious school.
"No request was made to open a private school," the prefecture said in its statement.

At least France is doing something about it. Who would have thought... the president of the United States would be a bigger wet noodle than France.
