When I was on the côte d'Azur it was in february and the water in winter was around 10ºC. Then, in March, it gets up a couple of degrees, but even with luck, don't expect much more than 10º. Of course, it depends a lot of the year and the depth.
I used a 5/7 mm suit for scuba but I always get out of the water with a nice blue skin
I think that a 5 mm apnea suit is enough for short times
Tell me more things about your trip, I know this coast a little.

I might go to Niolon, a small village across from marseille for a day or so, around end of december, beginning of january. I was there in the summer for a day and I really liked it. but 10C sounds a bit cold, all I have is a 3mm apnea suit, along with a 3mm short vest for colder water. I need to get something warmer if I am to get some time in the water... How is the visibility in the winter?
thanks for the help,

As I've never been in Niolon, I can't answer exactly.
However, what you can do is to write to flabelline@caramail.com and say her how and why did you get her adress (Her name is Nathalie and I'm Juan, fbbomao@caramail.com). Her father is a scuba instructor and he probably will able to help you. If not, I've more friends, but it will get more time to got their e-mails.
The visibility depends again of the day of currents and waves, but I think that not many more than ten meters. Concerning your 3 mm... good luck.
Living in Florida, why do you want to go to France!? And in winter!
If you need contacts, I can maybe help you. I've already worked in Saint-Raphaël, and dove in Cannes, Saint-Raphaël, and the Marseille area, but I think I can give you a couple of phone numbers.
On wednesday, I'll fly to La Palma, a Canary island, until 25-S , so I won't be connected, I'll be diving all day in blue, clean and warm water. If you want to send me a message, better tomorrow.
And I've heard a great shark's been seen around the island twice in some days... Maybe a white shark...? They're talking about 4 meters at least.

P.S: Nathalie speaks good english.
