Paris St Germain survived the second-half dismissal of former Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye to hold Evian to a goalless draw at the Parc des Sports.
Missing injured star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the defending Ligue 1 champions lacked sharpness up front and a 64th-minute red card for France midfielder Cabaye could have proved costly.
However, Evian were unable to make the most of their advantage to ensure PSG remain unbeaten after three matches this season.
