Hello,

I suggest you to post your message in the newsgroup fr.comp.lang.ada

These companies have their websites, thus making easier, maybe,
e-contacts.
* Alstom (http://www.alstom.com) formely known as Alcatel-Alsthom uses
Ada on the TGV.
* Matra Transport International now a German-French (Siemens +
Lagardere) company (http://www.matra-transport.fr), formely kwown as
Matra Transport a subsidiary of Lagardere uses also Ada intensively
