At least three people have been killed, including a female suicide bomber who detonated her vest.
Police snipers reportedly killed another suspect, while the third attacker also died. Three others have been arrested.
Gunfire could be heard in the Saint Denis area from 4.30am local time.
The suspected 'mastermind' behind Friday's terror attacks in the French capital, the Belgian jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is reported to be the target of this morning's raid and is thought to be one of as many as four suspects inside the apartment.
Truckloads of French soldiers were seen being moved in to join Swat teams in the operation.
Police have cordoned off a large area and residents are being warned to stay inside.
