Abstract: After the identification of the richest and the poorest districts of Lyon urban area, the implementation of accessibility indicators to the average structure of a basket of goods, interrogates about the plurality and the social reproduction of inequalities. A first "gap" between the access to transportation modes returns account of chances inequality to profit from the amenities of an urban area. A retrospective on the evolution of the amenities' localisation between 1990 and 1999 highlight the digging of the inequalities between the richest and the poorest districts, which a drastic increase of public transport supply struggles to reduce. The chances inequalities between the richest and the poorest districts are all the more pronounced, that the access to a private car is weak in the poorest districts.
