Well I went there several times during my week long stay. Basically a hilltop park with outstanding views of the countryside. There is some shade, so even during warmer day time temps it provides for a nice respite. But there's no elevator so you must hoof it. Find entances by the Papal Palace Square and along the ramparts. You'll find a duck pond surrounded by benches as well as a pleasant little cafe.

Our favorite spot in Avignon. Located next to and just above the Palace des Papes, the gardens offer a great view of the countryside and city, pleasant walkways, and a nice casual dining spot for refreshments. A very tranquil oasis.

This is a lovely quiet and shaded location in the gardens of Palais de Popes. Reasonably priced, limited selection but nice spot to get away from the crowds. The swans will entertain you.

This is a great garden with fountains and viewpoints of the city and the Rhone river. It is located above the Palace of the Popes.

Having visited the impressive cathedral continue up to left (or right, depending) - to the garden Rocher does Doms and its magnificent views.
Among a lot of other things you will see world famous The Bald Mountain (Mont Ventoux) on which a significant part of Tour de France takes places every year.
You will also see parts of (what looks like) The Unfinished Bridge almost crossing the river Rhône.

Nice park with no entrance fee. It has good views of the bridge and river. There was some shade on a warm summer day. This was my favourite thing to do in Avignon.
it's a small climb uphill to get to the top.

The views out towards the river are really stunning and it is amazing to see the original draw bridge from the street that leads to the bridge.

A great place to view the bridge, nearby defence towers and fortified village.
Located in a beautiful garden with a lake and a small restaurant.
Best of all is that it's free

This is a must do in Avignon. It's free and offers an amazing panorama of the area around Avignon. And it's completely free. Just a short walk up from the palace. It'll only take about 30 minutes for the whole thing.

My question was is there a tour from the Viking cruise line dock that picks you up at the dock and takes you to Gordes
