This one I noticed in Moissac, I think part of an old religious order near the abbey.
This was taken from the roof of the church in Saintes-Maries de la Mer in the Camargue.
An open courtyard in a restaurant in Avignon. It was mainly shady, welcome on a hot day to have fresh air without direct sun.
An open door in Châteauneuf du Pape - there is more there than merely wine. Though the wine should possibly not be described as "mere".
Another open door, this time from the inside looking out. This is one of the doors in the remarkably well preserved old city wall.

Great photos! Re the subjects of your first two photos: if you hadn't explained, I would have thought they were ruined towers I was seeing!
