If we consider that a "meridian" is a whole great circle, then Paris
meridian also extends across the Pacific, along what we would call
longitude 180 degrees.
The position given by JV is 37 degrees west (as from the original French
edition) of this meridian. This is in fact 143 degrees east of Paris, or
145 east of Greenwich.
And then everything is consistent.
