From Tours, there are guidebooks to get to SJPdP.
However, I have to ask where you're coming from, since there are many, many of us who wish to walk this route, but if you're coming from some countries, including the USA, it's not possible to do it in one go, since the Schengen countries only allow us to stay for 90 days in every six month period, with no easy way to get a visa extension. So if you're American, you'd either have to split it into two different years, or choose to do only part, or do a shorter route. If you're from one of the fortunate countries that don't have this restriction, I'm jealous!
I do think it would be possible to do the route from Paris to Santiago in 90 days, but it would be very rushed.
JabbaPapa, Scruffy1 posted elsewhere that his son wants to do Paris>Chartres and then cut down to Orleans to pick up the other branch of the Voie de Tours. Do you know anything about the best way to walk from Chartres to pick up the Orleans-Loire Valley branch?
Thanks, JabbaPapa!
A little confused by this part, though:
> shorter than the walk to Tours
But wouldn't one be going to Tours anyway, just via the Loire-side path instead of through Vendome?
I used IPhiGeNie which is an app that allows you to download all the IGN maps for the walk and to use them offline.
In Massy locals advised me to follow la Coulée Verte du Sud Parisien (VTT) in to Paris rather than Le Chemin de Saint Jacques.
