Adam Zamoyski in discussing La Grande Armee in his book "1812: Napoleon's fatal march on Moscow"  states that "a usual day's march was between fifteen and thirty-five kilometres, but in a forced march they could cover anything up to fifty-five kilometres." This quote can be found on page 99 of the 2005 Harper Perennial edition. 
 
I roughly calculate this as between 9 and 22 miles per day or up to 35 miles on a forced march.
