Location of 2e Armée headquarters in late 1943

So, in December 1943, General de Lattre is appointed commanding general of the 2e Armée (later Armée B) in French North Africa.

Does anyone know where the headquarters of 2e Armée was located in November or December of 1943? My guess is that it was co-located with Giraud's headquarters in Algiers, but I have no confirmation of that.

Merci.

Cheers

Ran across a note in Gaujac's L'Armee de la Victoire Volume 3 indicating that de Lattre had the HQ of Armée B in Douera, Algeria. An online source about Douera stated that the HQ was there from January until June 1944, located in the Château Holden. Still no indication if that is where 2e Armée set up in November 1943.

Cheers
