My Robert & Collins dictionary says a trivet is a dessous de plat. The function of a dessous de plat is to protect the table from a hot dish. @ A.

I would have thought to be a trivet it has to have feet, or some means of elevating the hot dish above the level of the table or hearth, and I'm not sure that a dessous de plat does (but I'm quite prepared to be corrected!)

Growing up in New England, it was always a very common word to me and trivets were always used on the table beneath hot dishes. Really enjoyed your trip and photos.
