I'm assuming off the bat that your oven is NOT a self-cleaning oven?
If it is a self-cleaning oven DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF OVEN CLEANER ON IT EVER, you will destroy the self-clean coat; self-cleaning ovens have a setting where they essentially burn all of the crud off the oven-coating and then after it's cooled down you wipe up the ash. (This is what our oven does.) I have no idea how common these are in France, but if you use oven-cleaner on this kind of oven, it wrecks the self-cleaning coat and actually makes it MORE difficult to clean later. (Experience from my parents' old oven.)
Otherwise, everyone else has good ideas! I just thought it was worth mentioning.
