9 Staffel KG40 Based in France 1942

I am trying to find the exact airfield that 9 Staffel KG 40 was based in France during 1942 , I think it was possibly Rennes but I want to be sure . At the time 9 Staffel operated HE111 H-6's but I believe was in the process of re-equipping with the FW 200 Condor , can anybody confirm this also please , thanks.
