Question

How far did French troops (napoleons) travel from paris to Moscow????

Answer 1

They marched the entire 1544 miles. Of course, the fact is that they did not march in a direct line but meandered around for a variety of reasons so the total distance marched was certainly more.

One should note that the majority of troops in "La Grande Armée" of Napoleon at the time of the invasion of Russia were not French but from some twenty nations allied with France. So many did not march from Paris but from their respective countries.

Answer 2

They walked.

But I don't think all of them started in Paris - there were many Germans and other nationalities.
