Abstract: Car dependency of peri-urban territories is the result of the absence/lack of shops and services. It also raises the question of its sustainability. Internet and more especially e-shopping are a credible alternative for supplies to households in such kind of spaces. In fact, e-shopping is a way to reshape shopping practices and travels of households. By using interviews and questionnaires in Côte-d?Or and Seine-et-Marne, specific practices appear and contribute to enforce a peri-urban inhabiting where urban or city is kept at bay and where local moorings are valued. Peri-urban households use e-shopping to compensate the lack of local stores and services near their homes. Sustainability refers both to the capacities of inhabitants to adapt or reinvent their lifestyles and to become more sober in energy consumption.
