It must be admitted that the duration of stay alone does not dictate much, especially when plane tickets are so expensive. Still, be careful with small expenses that add up quickly, even in the low season, like car rental which can double at certain times, regardless of the rental duration.

Before convincing yourself that a 1200-kilometer trip makes possible a conference, consider the risk of failure associated with such a distance in one day.
Just because a long journey has been made doesn't mean a planning resource will be created; the downside is that fatigue or an unforeseen event on the road can prevent its realization.
Imagine a flat tire in the middle of nowhere instead of arriving fresh to create content; the condition is that everything goes perfectly, which is rare.

Without wanting to escalate, it seems to me that the duration of a stay is not solely determined by budget constraints, even in low season.
In France, the length of holidays is often defined by the employer, such as two weeks in August, which greatly influences the decision.
Perhaps we prefer shorter but more varied experiences, without cost being the only motivation.
For example, a couple with school-aged children does not always have the choice of the departure period or the duration, despite the prices.
It is therefore good to consider that other practical factors come into play, beyond the budget.
