Provence (French pronunciation: [pʁɔ.vɑ̃s]; Provençal: Provença in classical norm or Prouvènço in Mistralian norm, pronounced [pʀuˈvɛⁿsɔ]) is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River on the west to the Italian border on the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on the south. It largely corresponds with the modern administrative région of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and includes the départements of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region is Marseille.
The Romans made the region into the first Roman province beyond the Alps and called it Provincia Romana, which evolved into the present name. It was ruled by the Counts of Provence from their capital in Aix-en-Provence until 1481, when it became a province of the Kings of France. While it has been part of France for more than five hundred years, it still retains a distinct cultural and linguistic identity, particularly in the interior of the region.

From one valley to the next, Day 5 covered huge distance (65km) and descended over 4,000m to deliver Mavic Trans-Provence 2016 to the town of Sospel, where riders will refuel their batteries ready to tackle the final day of racing.
From the dizzying heights of the Col d'Allos early morning to the valley floor late afternoon, Day 2 of 2016 TP racing took in some of the toughest physical stages of this year's event, plus one monster of a mid-day climb.
Racers have been living on the edge today at TP - the edge of an enormous gorge, that is. Stages 13-15 plummeted at a fast pace before the world's most impressive shuttle took riders into the high mountains ready to motor back downhill on the long and physically demanding Stage 16.
