What do we call a place, which is a plane land just beneath a mountain range?
I want to describe about a village. It is not a mountain village. It is located just at the border from where hills started to rise.
Dictionary.com defines piedmont as
An area of land, glacier, or other feature formed or lying at the foot of a mountain or mountain range.
adjective
(prenominal) (of glaciers, plains, etc) formed or situated at the foot of a mountain or mountain range
And is from pied (foot) monte (hill), thus foothills also works.
