France claimed the Women's Six Nations title in Grand Slam fashion as they beat Wales 38-3 in Colwyn Bay.
After defeating fierce rivals England last weekend, the French delivered another impressive display, taking charge through early tries from half-backs Pauline Bourdon and Caroline Drouin.
Wales fly-half Elinor Snowsill tried to get Wales' attacking game moving, but they suffered a setback midway through the first half when flanker Alisha Butchers was carried off injured.
Despite losing Butchers, the Wales forwards dominated the second quarter and centre Robyn Wilkins kicked a penalty that cut France's advantage to 11 points, only for full-back Jessy Tremouliere to claim a third try just before half-time.
And France turned the screw after that, claiming a penalty try after Wales wing Jasmine Joyce was sin-binned for tackling a player off the ball, before hooker Agathe Sochat and centre Carla Neissen added further touchdowns, with Tremouliere kicking three conversions.
While France completed a Six Nations clean sweep, Wales were left to reflect on a solitary victory from their campaign against Scotland on the opening weekend.
