  abstract = {{T}he spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. {H}owever, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. {I}n the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the influence of the local geology on the rupture nucleation and propagation of the 2019 {L}e {T}eil earthquake ({F}rance; {ML} = 5.4; {M}w = 4.9) and on the distribution of its aftershocks. {T}he kinematic rupture model of the mainshock, obtained by joint inversion of seismological and {INSAR} data, shows that the rupture nucleated at 1 km depth and propagated mainly up-dip and bilaterally. {T}emplate matching detection identifies 115 aftershocks (-1.6 <= {ML} <= 2.5) in the two months following the mainshock. {D}ouble difference location shows that the aftershocks delineate a 4 km-long {NE}-{SW} plane with a 60 degrees dip to the {SE}, consistent with the extent and the geometry of the {L}a {R}ouvi{\`e}re fault activated during the mainshock. {B}y placing the seismicity in the local geological context, we conclude that the seismic activity was largely controlled by the rheological properties of the contrasting lithology. {T}he mainshock nucleated in marly-limestone, but the coseismic slip was maximum above 0.6 km depth in a massive limestone more prompt to store elastic strain. {T}he aftershocks occurred mainly in marls and marly limestone. {T}hey are interpreted as ruptures in competent beds of limestones of varying thickness, interbedded with marls.},
