Ignoring the legal aspects...
If under VFR in VMC... why do an ILS in the first place?!
If it's not what you're confident and comfortable with then why choose this approach for a bit of practice, especially when carrying a high value VIP asset (AAIB suggests he travelled to Nantes with Sala, so Sala would have been the passenger on that approach). Why stretch yourself in those circumstances?
