 The procession lasted from morning to night . The streets were lined with tableaux vivants displaying scenes from the Crusades , Deësis and the Gates of Paradise . More than a thousand burghers stood along the route ; those on one side were dressed in green facing , those on the opposite in red . The procession began at the Porte de St. Denis and passed under a canopy of sky @-@ blue cloth beneath which children dressed as angels sang , winding into the Rue Saint @-@ Denis before arriving at the Notre Dame for the coronation ceremony . As Tuchman describes the event , " So many wonders were to be seen and admired that it was evening before the procession crossed the bridge leading to Notre Dame and the climactic display . "
