Messi joined the Ligue 1 side as a free agent, the French club confirmed on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old forward however has an option of extending the contract for one more year.
Messi will reportedly make about €40m per year at his new club.
Meanwhile, an image of Lionel Messi has been removed from a mural at the Barcelona’s stadium after he signed for Paris Saint-Germain.
On Tuesday, the club’s workers were seen removing Messi from a mural depicting him alongside Gerard Pique and Antoine Griezman.
