| Summary: | Research on daily mobility during adolescence typically focuses on the contemporary situation in the French context. With this in mind, this article seeks to address a blind spot in this field by proposing a historical analysis of teenagers’ mobility practices in the Paris (Île-de-France) region over the past 20 years. The use of a mixed methodology enables us to demonstrate that the theory put forward in English-speaking research of a reduction in teenage mobility and a concomitant “privatization of adolescent's lives” cannot, in reality, be transposed to the case of the Paris urban area, leading us instead to the conclusion of a diversification of forms of mobility within the adolescent population depending on individuals’ social background, residential context and gender.
