sailing around Marseille

Hello Friends
We will be chartering a boat in Marseille for 3 days. Recommendations are welcome and appreciated for this area. Lovely anchorages or any tips/must see and do will be gratefully received.
Thanks so much

This is not a sailing site, but just to have an idea:

Always a look at the forecast, it's the "Mistral" zone!

You’re right to be concerned about the Mistral, my boat is berthed at Port St Louis du Rhône just along the coast a bit from Marseille so we get the Mistral howling down the Rhône at anywhere between 80 and 150 klm/hr for days during winter and spring, the upside is that the sea is relatively calm close to the coast but the wind is so cold that sailing loses its most of its charm.
