Lac de rétention is a quiet, lesser-known water basin near Montricher—ideal for calm reflections, misty mornings, and shoreline compositions with nearby trees and slopes. Visit early morning for soft light and minimal crowds; during light rain or after snowfall, the water surface turns mirror-like. Access is easy by car to the Montricher area, then footpaths around the shoreline.
