Arcelot, Arceau, Fouchanges; three villages that have always formed a single commune, crossed by the River Tille. Arceau is a rural commune situated 15 minutes from Dijon in a protected environment. Once situated on the Roman road linking Mirebeau to Dijon, the town was undoubtedly provided very early on with a single-arched bridge spanning the River Tille, which gave its name to the village. In the 17th century, General Gallas’s troops pillaged and burned the town.
