In 1668 he established near Montreal a settlement for converted Iroquois (now Kahnawake). In 1671 he replaced Étienne de Carheil in the Cayuga mission, and afterwards went to the Seneca Indians until 1680. Raffeix was a cartographer, as the following surviving maps bear witness:
* "Carte des regions les plus occidentales du Canada", dated 1676, and bearing a legend relating to the voyage of discovery of Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet;
* "Le lac Ontario avec les pays adjacents et surtout les cinq nations iroquoises";
* "La Nouvelle-France, de l'Océan au lac Erié, et, au sud, jusqu'à la Nouvelle-Angleterre". After his return to Quebec he acted as procurator to the mission. He spent two years at Jeune-Lorette (1699–1700), shortly after the final migration of the remnants of the Huron nation. He died at Quebec. (en)
