Can I travel from a Non-EU country to an EU country with a residence permit from another Schengen country? [duplicate]

I am from outside the EU and I am currently in the Netherlands with a temporary Dutch residence permit. I wanna go home to visit my family and I was wondering if I am allowed to use my Dutch residence permit to travel back to Europe from my country to France and then go back to the Netherlands?

PS: I am from Tunisia so usually I need a visa for France

Thank you
