    I've found the lines causing the Error:

    After each List Instance, there is a Field "_DisplayName" that gets updated: the .xml looks like this:
    <pnp:Fields>
    <Field ID="{1a53ab5a-11f9-4b92-a377-8cfaaf6ba7be}" Name="_DisplayName" DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" Sortable="FALSE" Filterable="FALSE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="TRUE" ShowInFileDlg="FALSE" Type="Lookup" DisplayName="Sensitivity" List="Docs" ListInternal="IpLabelCache" FieldRef="LabelId" ShowField="DisplayName" LeftList="Docs" LeftColumnName="IpLabelId" JoinColName="LabelId" JoinRowOrdinal="0" JoinType="LEFT OUTER" SchemaVersion="16.0.162.0" RecreateIfMissing="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="_DisplayName" FromBaseType="TRUE" />
    </pnp:Fields>

    I removed this Field Updates and was able to apply my template as I wanted. This bug seems to have been reported already (And fixes but not merged yet): https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Sites-Core/pull/1911

Jeremy GOUPIL just checked your template and I think it's the OneNote reference on navigation.

<pnp:NavigationNode Title="Bloc-notes" Url="{site}/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc={137c43e8-57b9-4f2f-a6ba-0d50fa98c1c5}&amp;action=editnew" IsExternal="true" />

 

Try removing this line and try again as it should work

I'm experiencing the same issue: tried about everything but don't know why I always get this error:

I don't think I'm referencing to any document in the provisioning xml.

    Maybe a link to the OneNote file on the left navigation? I've seen this as the cause of the problem multiple times

        So I have renamed srcTemplate.pnp to srcTemplate.zip
        Extracted srcTemplate.zip
        Edited this file : \Files\<guid>.xml

        I have deleted :
        <Field ID="{1a53ab5a-11f9-4b92-a377-8cfaaf6ba7be}" Name="_DisplayName" DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" Sortable="FALSE" Filterable="FALSE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="TRUE" ShowInFileDlg="FALSE" Type="Lookup" DisplayName="{res:Field_Niveau_de_confidentialité_DisplayName}" List="Docs" ListInternal="IpLabelCache" FieldRef="LabelId" ShowField="DisplayName" LeftList="Docs" LeftColumnName="IpLabelId" JoinColName="LabelId" JoinRowOrdinal="0" JoinType="LEFT OUTER" SchemaVersion="16.0.162.0" RecreateIfMissing="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="_DisplayName" FromBaseType="TRUE" />


        and

         

        <Field ID="{1a53ab5a-11f9-4b92-a377-8cfaaf6ba7be}" Name="_DisplayName" DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" Sortable="FALSE" Filterable="FALSE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="TRUE" ShowInFileDlg="FALSE" Type="Lookup" DisplayName="{res:Field_Niveau_de_confidentialité_DisplayName}" List="Docs" ListInternal="IpLabelCache" FieldRef="LabelId" ShowField="DisplayName" LeftList="Docs" LeftColumnName="IpLabelId" JoinColName="LabelId" JoinRowOrdinal="0" JoinType="LEFT OUTER" SchemaVersion="16.0.162.0" RecreateIfMissing="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="_DisplayName" FromBaseType="TRUE" />


        and

         

        <Field ID="{1a53ab5a-11f9-4b92-a377-8cfaaf6ba7be}" Name="_DisplayName" DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" Sortable="FALSE" Filterable="FALSE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="TRUE" ShowInFileDlg="FALSE" Type="Lookup" DisplayName="{res:Field_Niveau_de_confidentialité_DisplayName}" List="Docs" ListInternal="IpLabelCache" FieldRef="LabelId" ShowField="DisplayName" LeftList="Docs" LeftColumnName="IpLabelId" JoinColName="LabelId" JoinRowOrdinal="0" JoinType="LEFT OUTER" SchemaVersion="16.0.162.0" RecreateIfMissing="TRUE" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="_DisplayName" FromBaseType="TRUE" />

        Zipped to srcTemplate.zip
        Renamed to srcTemplate.pnp

         

        Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate : The Provisioning Template URI srcTemplate.xml is not valid.
