Routable through tons of Euro and several US cities! 2 free stopovers!
From ITA, I discovered that for an extra $15-$30 (in taxes), this is routable through all kinds of cities in Europe and several in the US. Here's a few that I found in Europe just to get an idea...
MUC, LYS, PRG, VCE, STR, BLQ, DUS, MXP
In the US, you can stopover in DTW, CVG, IAH, ATL, and possibly others (ST hubs that have AF-coded flights)

I want to go to Mexico for 3 months, outgoing mid June, return mid Sept. - so my stopover would be 3 months in SFO - from where i'll continue my travel to Mexico - this shouldn't be a problem, right?
Did you book SFO-AUS, AUS-SFO simply as a one-day turn-around?
And did you include CDG in your search? (I guess not as it wouldn't fit into the 5 segments on Expedia)

That's why your itin via SFO costs 415, as compared to 367 for routings of less than 6961 miles.
7856 (your routing) - 6961 (mpm) = 895 miles each way beyond the MPM.
So, basically you paid 48 for 1790 miles and 2 stopovers in SFO. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
I feel I have missed the point, though...

Since there are no AF codeshares beyond LAX/SFO, you need to book this segment as some other airline. Thus, the transfer limitation applies and you cannot have unlimited transfers anymore.
