The local topological dynamics of subgroups of ${ \rm Diff} ({ \mathbb C^n}, 0)$, with special emphasis on ${ \rm Diff} ({ \mathbb C^2}, 0)$, is discussed with a view towards integrability questions. It is proved in particular that a subgroup of ${ \rm Diff} ({ \mathbb C^2}, 0)$ possessing locally finite orbits is necessarily solvable. Other results and examples related to higher-dimensional generalizations of Mattei-Moussu's celebrated topological characterization of integrability are also provided. These examples also settle a fundamental question raised by the previous work of Camara-Scardua.
