description The spread of online shopping examines the potential spatial specificities of household practices and uses of this channel of purchasing. More precisely, the article aims to understand the peri-urban dimension of these practices by placing them in a socio-spatial context.

This greater propensity for buying online forms part of the continuity of daily practices based on the principle of a search for efficiency or cutting down on travelling, even avoiding the town or its negative impacts at the very least.
