Around Paris, Île-de-France alternates royal forests, châteaux and new towns, from Versailles to Marne-la-Vallée. Outdoor swimming only lasts a few weeks a year. You'll find hotels with indoor pools, both near the Palace of Versailles and around the Disney parks. I've selected 10 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle (4.8/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

In my selection, the top-rated is Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle (Hotel), with 4.8/5 (146 reviews · TripAdvisor). Next come Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel (4.4/5) and Les Jardins de Saint-Cloud (8.7/10).
None of the places selected in Île-de-France clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle, Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel and Les Jardins de Saint-Cloud have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Île-de-France 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.
