Full back Serge Aurier headed the first goal in the 11th minute and Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani scored from close range seven minutes later.
Lyon, runners-up to PSG in Ligue 1 last season, finished the game with 10 men after Maxime Gonalons was shown a second yellow card just after the hour.
Milan target Zlatan Ibrahimovic reportedly admitted “this could’ve been my last game for PSG” after winning the French Super Cup.
There had already been reports he would be allowed to walk away from Paris Saint-Germain after this match.
“This could’ve been my last game for PSG. I am about to make an important decision,” he is reported to have said. However, there is some doubt as to the veracity of the quotes, which have not been picked up by more established French media sources.
Milan are the favourites to sign the Swede.
PSG were without Argentine internationals Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi who have returned to the squad late following their involvement in the Copa America.
Lyon were minus attacking midfielder Clement Grenier, who is expected to be out for four months with a leg injury, and the suspended Nabil Fekir.
The two teams prepared for the game in contrasting fashion.
Lyon had lost five out of six friendlies, including a 6-0 hammering by Arsenal in the Emirates Cup, while PSG beat Manchester United, Fiorentina and Benfica in the International Champions Cup.
