But, despite creating several clear openings, Laurent Blanc's side were unable to find the breakthrough without top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Leonardo Jardim's men were far from the all-action outfit that defeated Arsenal 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, but did enough to hold on for a draw that moves them into fourth position.
PSG were the better side for much of the contest and remain the only team unbeaten this season in matches against Ligue 1's top five.
But the champions were either too intricate, or inaccurate in front of goal, meaning they stay second, a point behind leaders Lyon. The teams meet again at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday in the Coupe de France.
Despite being without a number of key players, including the suspended Ibrahimovic and the injured Lucas Moura, the visitors soon settled into their preferred pattern of play, dominating position, albeit at a pedestrian pace.
The hosts appeared equally comfortable to allow their opponents the ball, dropping deep to prevent space in behind.
