You can be near certain that people will gather throughout the afternoon and evening on Friday. We always try to have a good gathering place for that purpose (preferably with a bar :-/). Traditionally Saturday is a full day, starting with a keynote by Alexandre, and then a day of meeting and then dinner out for everyone. On Sunday, a fair number of folks will leave in the late afternoon. Some folks will stick around for dinner. But essentially, Friday late afternoon through Sunday late afternoon are the 'core hours' for optimal WineConf. There are usually groups that do something mildly touristy on Monday, and often folks stick around for a few days and do other fun things afterward. This year, given the proximity to the US holiday of Thanksgiving, I think you'll find the preponderance of folks will have have free time early (e.g. Wednesday/Thursday), rather than later. Typically, these are small groups, and they sort things out on this mailing list, or on the Wiki page, as they go. Note that the date was chosen in part because travel will be cheaper. But travel will be cheaper because the weather will be less nice... You might want to figure that in when planning. Also note that tickets should remain cheap for the next few months, so you probably don't have to rush (but you can't blame me if I'm wrong and prices suddenly jump up :-/).

Jeremy, Tom, and everyone else:
Thank you for your wonderful comments.
I have decided not to risk ticket prices rising, and have booked a flight on Air France.
Per your recommendations for "optimal WineConf time," I will be arriving on Friday, November 19th at 8:35 am and departing on Monday, November 22nd at 10:30 am.
No one who stays longer? To e.g. visit the Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower or the Louvre?
