France strutted to a first Grand Slam in 12 years as they ran in three tries to comfortably see off England in front of a jubilant Stade de France.
Tries from Gael Fickou and Francois Cros gave the hosts a healthy half-time lead and left England playing catch-up.
England's Freddie Steward, deployed on the wing, stepped and swooped to score after Joe Marchant's break after the interval.
But it was a rare moment of danger from England, who were kept at arm's length.
France captain Antoine Dupont darted under the sticks soon and the hosts played out the final 10 minutes in comfort as their fans started the party.
