I'd look into Conti Top Touring 2000s, they have a fairly low profile
and the 28 mm or even 32 mm might squeeze into a modern road bike
frame, but as always your mileage may vary.  I use the 28s on my road
bike and they work fine, but it's an older bike with plenty of
clearance.  They are good strong tires but they may require some
effort to mount, depending on the rim.  Some people like Avocets,
also, but I never tried them.

Any of the local bike shops should be able to try one on for you to
see if it clears your frame and brakes.
