PSG rested several key players including Kylian Mbappé ahead of the French Cup final on Saturday against Lyon.
They made an excellent start with Carlos Soler breaking the deadlock with a shot from outside the box after seven minutes, while Lee Kang-in doubled the lead five minutes later.
Metz had their chances late in the match and went close on several occasions and will now play in the relegation playoff.
Brest's Kenny Lala scored a late goal after efforts from Madi Camara and Jordan Amavi to earn victory at Toulouse, with the club ending the campaign in third place with 61 points.
Lille dropped to fourth on 59 points and must go through the Champions League third qualifying round after Nice's Jordan Lotomba equalised in stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw for the fifth-placed side already assured of a Europa League spot.
Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette scored twice to earn his side a 2-1 win against Strasbourg as they moved up to sixth and qualified for the Europa League ahead of Lens, who drew 2-2 at home to Montpellier and will play in the Conference League.
Monaco, with their Champions League return secured, thrashed visitors Nantes 4-0 as Wissam Ben Yedder, Thilo Kehrer and Mohamed Camara, with a penalty, scored in the first half while Eliesse Ben Seghir completed the rout after the break.
