Top 14 - Round-up: Toulouse stay top
Perpignan were on the wrong end of a 41-15 defeat at the Stade Ernest Wallon, but the win came at a price for Toulouse, as they expect to lose full-back Clement Poitrenaud for up to three months after the France international twisted his ankle midway through the first half.
A try from Yannick Nyanga and two each from Cedric Heymans and Vincent Clerc were too much for visitors, who could only reply through Sebastian Bozzi and Nicolas Mas as they slipped to their fifth defeat of the season.
Stade Francais regained second place with a 15-12 win over bottom club Auch at the Stade Jean-Bouin.
The home side were 9-0 down at half time after three penalties from Naas Olivier in the opening 20 minutes. However, David Skrela kicked five in the second half to claim the victory and leapfrog over Biarritz, who beat Montpellier 18-14 on Friday.
Placed sixth and fifth respectively before the weekend's matches, Bayonne and Montauban swapped places in the table after the Bayonnais beat TG15 25-18 at the Stade Jean Dauger, thanks to the kicks of captain Richard Dourthe.
Dax remain five points from the bottom of the table after losing at home to Castres 17-8, while Albegois trounced Bourgoin 33-8.
In the late match Brive went down 11-9 at home to third-placed Clermont.
