The league leaders claimed all three points and moved 13 clear of second placed Monaco ahead of their trip to Evian on Saturday.
Defending French Champions PSG were beneficiaries of some good fortunes as Nice defender Timothee Kolodziejczak netted into his own net seven minutes into the second half, despite the defender having been pushed in the back by Edinson Cavani in the lead up to the goal, as PSG claimed their 23rd league win of the compaign.
Laurent Blanc’s focus will now shift to Wednesday’s Champions League match against Chelsea as they seek to reach the semi finals for the first time in 18 years.
PSG were handed a huge boost ahead of the midweek quarter-final first leg as Thiago Silva played the full 90 minutes despite the Brazilian having fractured cheekbone last week-although he did not play at his best level at the Allianz Riveira.
