The 30 and 36 inch models offer French doors. These have the French doors. However, their only models that have the side opening doors are either convection or ovens offering convection and steam. Thanks to an alert reader I can now tell you about Bosch's side-opening oven. If there ovens are as good as their dishwasher, then this should be an excellent choice. With appliances Bosch is a brand I always consider.
No French doors are offered, but they do have one quirky alternative design. This is an oven where the base drops down.
There are no doors on the front. Since only the base drops down the heat tends to stay in the oven. I would expect that there is an opportunity for the elevator mechanism to break, but what a great idea. The unit sits at the level of the upper cabinets, but the base is loaded at the level of the countertop.
This is probably the easiest oven to access on the market. Gaggenau ovens have cutting edge design. If anyone knows of other brands and models, please let me know and I will add them to the list. Accessible Homes.

I've bumped into more hot oven doors than I care to count, as I've tried to reach for some pan or other. At the very least, Fagor's new set-up should solve that problem, as well as provide an oven option for tight kitchens. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.

The basic design of a hinged door was perfected in ancient times, with Egyptian tombs featuring the same entryways you and I use daily. But even though the door ain't broke, some appliance designers have found some ways to improve it, adding extra hinges or changing up how it opens. Perhaps it's due to customer demand, or perhaps it's out of desperation, but we have to admire the effort put into rethinking such a time-tested design.
It pivots on a hinge from either the bottom or the side, meaning you can open the door vertically or horizontally. To some, this may sound gimmicky, but the idea is to make loading easier for users who would like to quickly slide their laundry into the dryer using the door as a chute. We think it's cool. Another concept that seems a little contrived at first blush, the door-in-door fridge concept from LG and Samsung is actually pretty cool when you get to the nuts and bolts of it. Essentially, these fridges have a smaller door within the cavity of a larger door.
The idea is for consumers to store immediate perishables and frequently used goods—like condiments—in the smaller door cavity. This allows for quicker, more convenient access, and theoretically makes for a more energy efficient product as it cuts down on air loss.
