description The question of ageing is a crucial issue for the societies of the formerly industrialised countries and it covers a reality that varies according to spatial contexts. At first sight in France the periurban areas, which are associated with an active lifestyle marked by commuting, seem to be unable to respond to the issue of ageing. However, some of their retirees are anchored in the rural municipalities of periurban areas : despite the dominant suburban model based on single family home and car mobility, what place is there for the elderly ? The article discusses the effects of constraint, but also free choice with regard to a certain number of amenities and the responses of public policies to understand how individual and collective trade-offs are made around the question of housing, daily mobilities and services at an age when living patterns are changing.
