Rafaëla Griffioen
Rafaëla Griffioen

Na vele zomervakanties in de Morvan te hebben doorgebracht, heeft Rafaëla zich er met haar gezin
permanent gevestigd in 2002. Als zelfstandige gedurende 15 jaar op lokale markten heeft zij zich de
Franse taal en cultuur eigen gemaakt en hebben de Franse instanties haar weg menigmaal gekruist.
Haar in Nederland genoten hbo-opleiding voor toerisme kwam hierbij goed van pas. In Nederland
was zij ooit administratief medewerkster en bij Passe Partout heeft zij deze draad weer opgepakt in
2021.
