Gisèle Pélicot waived her right to anonymity, insisting that she wanted the trial to be in the public eye so that the alleged offence "never happens again".
A protestor, Lilou, said: "What is the most shocking is the amount of men who have done this, the length of time, and, above all, the fact they're ordinary people."
After learning about the alleged abuse almost four years ago, the Pélicots' daughter, Caroline Darian, founded the charity Don't Put Me To Sleep, to help victims.
Valentine from Les Amazones d'Avignon expressed the protest's goal as an "end to impunity for rapists in France" and called for "exemplary punishment".
