Perpignan concluded their group stage campaign with a resounding victory over Treviso but will not be heading for the quarter finals.
The French visitors led 24-9 by half-time and never looked like letting the Italians back into the match.
Tries from Guilhem Guirado, Nicolas Durand, Farid Sid (2), Adrien Plante, Olivier Olibeau, Christophe Manas and Jerome Porical made it another miserable day for Treviso, who finish bottom of Pool Three without a point from six matches.
Kicking points for Perpignan were shared out between Porical and Steve Meyer.
Full-back Brendan Williams got Treviso's only try, which came midway through the second half, with their other points arriving via the boot of Andrea Marcato.
Victory was not enough to lift Perpignan to second place in the pool, with Ospreys' victory over Leicester ensuring the Welsh side finished as runners-up.
