Just start on this map with the Chemin out of Lourdes: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!43.0957!-0.0463 AFAIK there are some places to stay. Ask in the tourism office from Lourdes for the reservation.
From Saint Jean Pied de Port take GR10 to Irún. After following the yellow arrows to Santiago, look for the blue ones pointing towards Fatima.

Did you go? I want to walk from Lourdes to Santiago then Fatima (or reverse) with my kids. Any advice would be welcome!

It’s a really, REALLY long way! I’ve walked all of those component parts and essentially you are looking at three separate major walks: Piemonte from Lourdes to SJPdP, Frances from SJPdP to Santiago, and the Central Portuguese with the Fatima variant. 50+ days depending upon your speed. You could do it via the Aragon or the Norte instead if the Frances, but that gets a bit harder.

If you have long-distanced walked before, it would be a major challenge.
