The France international struggled for regular playing time at the French champions, making 13 Ligue 1 starts last season.
He has now been reunited with former Newcastle manager Alan Pardew at Selhurst Park ahead of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign.
Cabaye scored 17 goals in 79 top-flight appearances during his time at St James’ Park.
West Ham had also been interested in the midfielder but sources told ESPN FC that Palace had agreed a fee with PSG on Wednesday.
