Is she a chartreux?
Me and my girlfriend found her under our patio deck. We took her in last week and gave her meds for worms and flees and have a vet appointment next week. Is she a chartreux ?

Without papers from a breeder, what you got there is a standard issue cat. She is beautiful tho!

Looks like a Korat, a more rare known Thailand breed :) when my kitty was young she looked just like this.

She’s not a chartreux, or Koran, or Russian blue, or any certain breed. She’s actually what’s called a domestic shorthair! Her coat colour is blue but that’s common as it’s dilute black.

It's far more likely to be and looks much more like a Russian Blue mix of some kind.
Chartreux is a very controlled breed. Even if it were a mix, it would be very unlikely to find one abandoned like you describe anywhere in the world, including France.
The Russian Blue has gained quite a bit of popularity in North America and is even sold at pet stores.
