locales
Places things happen
Locales is the plural of locale, meaning distinct places or settings, especially as they relate to particular events or activities: The film was shot in exotic locales across Southeast Asia.
Locale emphasizes the character or atmosphere of a place rather than just its location: Each restaurant creates a different locale for dining.
