This article is based on a qualitative survey of residents of a residential care facility which is located in a new town, in a suburban commune in the eastern Ile-de-France region. Residents have practices centered on the local space, they have daily pedestrian mobility for local practices while they use car travel - not public transport - for more distant travel. The lack of accessibility within the municipality, which results in narrow sidewalks or difficult access to public transport, complicates all residents' movements. The constraints of living in an institution make it difficult to meet other peri-urban populations.
