Renting an apartment means living at your own pace. When the building has a heated pool, swimming joins the programme, whatever the season. In Marseille and Cassis, warm water is found in the spas of central hotels, on a few heated terraces and in houses to rent near the calanques. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Marseille and Cassis: Appart'hôtel Odalys City Marseille Centre Euromed.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.

The pool. Indoor pool with hammam and sauna, according to Staycation. Heating isn't specified.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. An option with a kitchen for families. Check the pool's opening hours, which are often shared with the relaxation area.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.

None of the places selected in Marseille and Cassis clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Appart'hôtel Odalys City Marseille Centre Euromed has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Marseille and Cassis gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
