Does anyone know what this lizard is? I've done a cursory search but I'm struggling. Found under a rock in my garden in the middle of France, altitude 700m

For me that's definitely the European marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) found predominantly in France and Spain.

I've laughed at that perhaps more than I should have.
