The 17th century and the invasion of territories by Louis Comtois remain 14th in Arcey marked by painful memories.

The alert was given. The enraged French assailed the church and tried to smoke out the besieged, who opened a hole in the roof of the tower to remove smoke. It was then that the company decided to set fire to the tower, " the fire finally being brought to the bell tower, peasants, moved with compassion toward their wives and children, there appeared a white flag, which forced soldiers ask them if they wanted to go, they give them good neighborhood, but the besieged bravely replied that they thanked their tender grace alone that they had to ask was to allow women sortissent and children to avoid the fire... But the fire is actively spreading in the tower, and those inside, seeing that death was inevitable, is comforted each, other, to bear bravely and leave all County the example of their loyalty. " This dated January 8, 1674 remained engraved forever. 94 people died to defend their Catholic faith and loyalty to their king.
