Boat from Marseille IS good , Toulon is definitely the nicest way to reach Corsica.
You will dock at sunrise refreshed
Lots of people sleep on a mat, regulars claim thé nicest spot early
Thé main roads are mentals, it pains me to admit that dangerous driving is commonplace.
You can skip all the mayhem using thé train southbound.
Inland if you want to fight the mountains.
Grany Gears compulsory.

Nicest way to get to Corsica in my experience is to take the direct Eurostar from St Pancras to Marseille-St. Charles, walk down to the harbour and take the overnight ferry to Bastia. I don't know if this works with bikes.
For such a short tour you might be better off to fly to Ajaccio and ride east from there. Generally Corse-du-Sud has better cycle touring routes than Haute-Corse, which is pretty rugged with long, narrow and heavily-trafficked ascents into the interior.
