So it seems that AF is not giving up this route completely over the winter?

The source linked above states "Currently AIRFRANCE operating flight (AF664/667) is still available for reservation but will be closed soon." I expect this is correct, because why on earth would DL and AF put out ORD-CDG at the exact same time on the exact same days of the week? The TATL JV is cutting capacity this winter, so DL starting new service and AF maintaining it would be absurd.
