Church from the 14th/15th century which was on the pilgrimage route route to the Abbey of St Denis (the famous Basilica today in St Denis). Much history to felt here and some interesting architecture to appreciate. There are also relics of St Helena kept here. Not many visitors at times. Be respectful though as it remains an active church.

Located on the lower part of Rue st Denis, is this Gothic style. the façade is of note as there are two turrets rather than spires, which suit the design.

This is a Roman Catholic parish church on Rue Saint Denis in the 1st District of Paris. It is north of Pompidou a few blocks and can be conveniently viewed when sightseeing in the area.
Originally constructed in the 13th-century, numerous enlargements and modifications took place up until 1780, providing the bulk of the present church you see today. Recent church history is also associated with the relics of Saint Helena, mother of early 4th-century ruler Emperor Constantine, which were transferred to the church in the late 19th century.
Due to the narrow street in front of the church, it is a bit challenging to appreciate the facade and immediate exterior of Eglise Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles. However, you can enjoy a simple Gothic facade with side turrets on both sides of the entrance.
We further found the interior to be quite dark throughout. You can walk through the nave, viewing a fine alter with surrounding decorative columns and a nicely carved pulpit. However, it was rather difficult taking pictures due to poor light conditions on the day.
There are nice stained-glass windows to see. However, quite a few within the upper level of the church were missing, at present being replaced with temporary clear glass panes. Would be nice to see the interior with replacements window panes at some point in the future.
In the end, we liked Eglise Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles but found it more difficult to enjoy given the dark conditions on the day we visited. Will have to give her another visit in the future so that we can better view and appreciate the church.

Eglise Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles is located on rue Saint-Denis, historically important as part of the pilgrimage route to the Abbey of Saint-Denis. Nowadays, the church shares the neighborhood with numerous clothing shops, restaurants and a few strip clubs. The entry to the church opens up directly on rue Saint-Denis.
The church, in one form or another, has been in existence since 1120 and is not a large church by Parisian standards. It has lovely side chapels, but the crypt beneath the altar houses a knight’s tomb and a reliquary which contains part of the body of Saint Helena, mother of Constantine the Great. According to historical accounts, in 840 a monk stole part of St Helena’s body from her sarcophagus in Rome, and in 1820, the Pope allowed the relic to be housed at Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles parish under the protection of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. To this day, the Knights still meet to pray at the church on a weekly basis. Whether or not St. Helena’s relic is genuine is hard to prove without using modern methods, but the church followers I met at the church unequivocally believe the relic to be real. You must ask an attendant to unlock the door to the crypt to go down to see Saint Helena’s shrine and reliquary.
The church is easily accessible from Metro Chatelet. On the way from the metro to the church, you can pass by the Fontaine des Innocents, the oldest monumental fountain in Paris. You can also take a short side trip to Eglise Saint-Eustache, a much grander but less intriguing church than Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles.
