Legend describes battling knights returning from the Crusades and bringing cats back to France. These cats arrived in the care of Carthusian monks at Le Grande Chartreux monastery as early as the 14th century. The Chartreux domestic still holds a reputation for being one of the oldest natural breeds in Europe. Although wery few pure bloodlines existed after World War II, selective breeding eventually rescued the breed, which began a worldwide exodus in the 1970's.

The Carthusian monks are probably responsible for assigning the breed name. Similar in body shape to the British Shorthair, the Chartreux always wears a silvery, blue-gray colored coat.
